Real-Time Observation of Phonon-Mediated σ-π Interband Scattering in MgB_{2}.

چکیده
In systems having an anisotropic electronic structure, such as the layered materials graphite, graphene, and cuprates, impulsive light excitation can coherently stimulate specific bosonic modes, with exotic consequences for the emergent electronic properties. Here we show that the population of E_{2g} phonons in the multiband superconductor MgB_{2} can be selectively enhanced by femtosecond laser pulses, leading to a transient control of the number of carriers in the σ-electronic subsystem. The nonequilibrium evolution of the material optical constants is followed in the spectral region sensitive to both the a- and c-axis plasma frequencies and modeled theoretically, revealing the details of the σ-π interband scattering mechanism in MgB_{2}.

Optical Conductivity of Clean Metals
We briefly review some basic aspects of transport in clean metals focusing on the role of electron-electron interactions and neglecting the effects of impurities, phonons and interband transitions. Both for small Fermi surfaces of two and three-dimensional metals and open Fermi surfaces of quasi one-dimensional metals the dc conductivity σ is largely dominated by momentum and pseudo-momentum co...
متن کاملSuperconducting graphene sheets in CaC6 enabled by phonon-mediated interband interactions
There is a great deal of fundamental and practical interest in the possibility of inducing superconductivity in a monolayer of graphene. But while bulk graphite can be made to superconduct when certain metal atoms are intercalated between its graphene sheets, the same has not been achieved in a single layer. Moreover, there is a considerable debate about the precise mechanism of superconductivi...
متن کاملBand filling and interband scattering effects in MgB2: carbon versus aluminum doping.
We argue, based on band structure calculations and the Eliashberg theory, that the observed decrease of T(c) of Al and C doped MgB2 samples can be understood mainly in terms of a band filling effect due to the electron doping by Al and C. A simple scaling of the electron-phonon coupling constant lambda by the variation of the density of states as a function of electron doping is sufficient to c...
متن کاملEVIDENCE FOR A NARROW σ(770) RESONANCE AND ITS SUPPRESSION IN ππ SCATTERING FROM MEASUREMENTS OF π−p↑ → π−π+n ON POLARIZED TARGET AT 17.2 GeV/c
We present a new model independent amplitude analysis of reaction πp → π−π+n measured at CERN at 17.2 GeV/c on polarized target using a Monte Carlo method in an extended range of dipion mass 580–1080 MeV. The two solutions for the measured moduli |S|2Σ and |S|2Σ of the two S-wave transversity amplitudes S and S show resonant behaviour below 800 MeV corresponding to a scalar resonance σ(770). Si...
متن کاملElectron-Phonon Coupling Deduced from Phonon Line Shapes
We investigate the Fano-type line shape of the Ba mode of Y1−xCaxBa2Cu3O6+y films observed in Raman spectra with A1g symmetry. The line shape is described with an extended Fano formula that allows us to obtain the bare phonon parameters and the self-energy effects based on a phenomenological description of the real and imaginary part of the lowenergy electronic response. It turns out that the p...
