- More about Emergent States in Photoinduced Charge-Density-Wave Transitions
This book explores the mechanisms of light-induced phase transitions and nonequilibrium orders in broken-symmetry systems, shedding light on photoinduced melting and recovery of charge density waves. It reveals dynamic slowing-down during melting and the presence of topological defects in the CDW, with potential applications in superconductivity and magnetic ordering.

This captivating book delves deep into the realm of light-induced phase transitions and nonequilibrium orders in broken-symmetry systems. Upon the excitation of materials with an intense laser pulse, they undergo a remarkable nonthermal transition, traversing pathways distinct from those in equilibrium. The mechanism underlying these photoinduced phase transitions has been extensively studied, yet numerous intricacies in this ultrafast, non-adiabatic regime remain shrouded in mystery. The work presented in this book unveils fresh perspectives on this phenomenon through an in-depth exploration of photoinduced melting and recovery of charge density waves (CDWs). Employing a range of time-resolved diffraction and spectroscopic techniques, the author meticulously demonstrates that the light-induced melting of a CDW is characterized by a dynamic slowing down. Furthermore, the restoration of the symmetry-breaking order unfolds in two distinct phases: a swift recovery of the CDW amplitude is followed by a slower re-establishment of phase coherence, which is influenced by the presence of topological defects within the CDW. Moreover, after suppressing the original CDW through photoexcitation, a different, competing CDW transiently emerges, illustrating how a hidden order in equilibrium can be unleashed by a laser pulse. These profound insights into CDW systems hold great potential for application in other broken-symmetry states, such as superconductivity and magnetic ordering, propelling us closer to the manipulation of matter phases using laser pulses.
