P09.00001: Coherent vibrational control of a surface structural phase transition Invited Speaker: Claus Ropers The desire to exert active optical control over matter is a unifying theme across multiple scientific fields. In femtochemistry, multi-pulse optical excitation schemes address coherences in the electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom of molecules to influence the efficiencies of chemical reactions. The possible transfer of this concept to solid-state systems is, however, complicated by the high electronic and vibrational density of states, and by couplings to an external heat bath. Low-dimensional and strongly correlated systems represent a promising intermediate between molecules and solids, and often host intriguing phenomena, for example, Peierls-type metal-insulator phase transitions. The impact of coherences on the switching efficiencies and thresholds of such transitions, however, remains a largely open subject. |
