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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 373g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030817534\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfred Zong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44282980958458,"sku":"9783030817534","price":133.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_ed0455a2-5917-4275-b63e-78e71f19809f.jpg?v=1686917408","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/emergent-states-in-photoinduced-chargedensitywave-transitions-9783030817534","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
