In magnetic topological insulators (TIs), the interplay between order and nontrivial topology can induce fascinating quantum phenomena, such as anomalous Hall effect, chiral Majorana fermions axion electrodynamics. Recently, a great deal of attention has been focused on intrinsic TIs, where disorder effects be eliminated to large extent, which is expected facilitate emergence phenomena. despite intensive efforts, experimental evidence surface states (SSs) remains elusive. Here, by combining...

In high-temperature superconductivity, the process that leads to formation of Cooper pairs, fundamental charge carriers in any superconductor, remains mysterious. We used a femtosecond laser pump pulse perturb superconducting Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+δ) and studied subsequent dynamics using time- angle-resolved photoemission infrared reflectivity probes. Gap quasiparticle population revealed marked dependencies on both excitation density crystal momentum. Close d-wave nodes, gap was sensitive...

The physical property investigation (like transport measurements) and ultimate application of the topological insulators usually involve surfaces that are exposed to ambient environment (1 atm room temperature). One critical issue is how surface state will behave under such conditions. We report high resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements directly probe prototypical insulators, Bi 2 Se 3 Te , upon exposing various environments. find order robust even when air at temperature....

Abstract In low-dimensional systems with strong electronic correlations, the application of an ultrashort laser pulse often yields novel phases that are otherwise inaccessible. The central challenge in understanding such phenomena is to determine how dimensionality and many-body correlations together govern pathway a non-adiabatic transition. To this end, we examine layered compound, 1 T -TiSe 2 , whose three-dimensional charge-density-wave (3D CDW) state also features exciton condensation...

We use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to characterize the dynamics of energy gap in superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi2212). Photoexcitation drives system into a nonequilibrium pseudogap state: Near Brillouin zone diagonal (inside normal-state Fermi arc), completely closes for pump fluence beyond F = 15 {\mu}J/cm^2; toward face (outside it remains open at least 24 {\mu}J/cm^2.
