Domain walls (DWs) are singularities in an ordered medium that often host exotic phenomena such as charge ordering, insulator-metal transition, or superconductivity. The ability to locally write and erase DWs is highly desirable, as it allows one to design material functionality by patterning DWs in specific configurations. We demonstrate such capability at room temperature in a charge density wave (CDW), a macroscopic condensate of electrons and phonons, in ultrathin 1T-TaS2. A single femtosecond light pulse is shown to locally inject or remove mirror DWs in the CDW condensate, with probabilities tunable by pulse energy and temperature. Using time-resolved electron diffraction, we are able to simultaneously track anti-synchronized CDW amplitude oscillations from both the lattice and the condensate, where photoinjected DWs lead to a red-shifted frequency. Our demonstration of reversible DW manipulation may pave new ways for engineering correlated material systems with light.

AbstractFor the two proteins myoglobin (MB) and fluoroacetate dehalogenase (FAcD), we present a systematic comparison of crystallographic diffraction data collected by serial femtosecond (SFX) and serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX). To maximize comparability, we used the same batch of crystals, the same sample delivery device, as well as the same data analysis software. Overall figures of merit indicate that the data of both radiation sources are of equivalent quality. For both proteins reasonable data statistics can be obtained with approximately 5000 room temperature diffraction images irrespective of the radiation source. The direct comparability of SSX and SFX data indicates that diffraction quality is rather linked to the properties of the crystals than to the radiation source. Time-resolved experiments can therefore be conducted at the source that best matches the desired time-resolution.

Light-emitting properties of Ge-on-Si(001) layers doped by Sb were studied by stationary and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature. It was obtained that the PL intensity of n-Ge/Si(001) structures is maximized when the doping level is close to the equilibrium solubility of Sb in Ge (~1019 cm-3) which is in accordance with the previously published data. Time-resolved studies of the direct-related PL signal have shown that both the donor density and the growth conditions of doped layer, in particular, the growth temperature influence the PL kinetics. It was obtained that the increase of doping level leads to the decrease of the characteristic carrier lifetime. Moreover, usage of low growth temperatures which is needed to form the doped n-Ge layers also results in shortening of the carrier lifetime as compared with Ge layers grown at high temperatures. It was found that rapid thermal anneal at proper conditions could partially compensate the above mentioned detrimental effects and lead to the increase of both the PL intensity and carrier lifetime.

We applied a number of time-resolved optical techniques for investigation of optical and photoelectrical properties of cubic SiC grown by different technologies on different substrates. The excess carriers were injected by a short laser pulse and their dynamics was monitored by free-carrier absorption, light-induced transient grating, and photoluminescence techniques in a wide excitation range. Combining an optical and electrical probe beam delay, we found that free carrier lifetimes in differently grown layers vary from few ns up to 20 μs. Temperature dependences of carrier diffusivity and lifetime revealed a pronounced carrier trapping in thin sublimation grown layers. In free-standing layers and thick sublimation layers, the ambipolar mobility was found the highest (120 cm2/Vs at room temperature). A linear correlation between the room-temperature band edge emission and carrier lifetime in differently grown layers was attributed to defect density, strongly dependent on the used growth conditions.

Femtosecond time-resolved absorption measurements of a magnetically bi-stable azopyridine Ni-porphyrin in solution at room temperature show that the photo-induced dynamics are dominated by transient low-spin ⇄ high-spin interconversion involving Ni (d2) and (d, d) states.

The 2D layer compound [Fe(pyrazine)Pt(CN)4] has received a lot of attention because of its spin transition with a large hysteresis at room temperature, the possibility of bidirectional light-switching, and its potential as sensor for various gases [1], and in a recent study it served as test case for time-resolved electron diffraction on the nano-second time scale [2]. The present study focuses on the photo-induced HS → LS relaxation of the hydrated compound monitored by synchrotron XRPD measurements at 10 K (Figure 1). For the title compound, the time evolution of the XRD pattern shows a complex relaxation behaviour, which can be modelled with an initial random relaxation followed by a nucleation and growth process.
