Ultrafast non-equilibrium dynamics in SDW metals — •Bhaskar Kamble¹, Alireza Akbari², and Ilya Eremin¹ — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44801 Bochum — ²Max Planck Institut für Chemische Physik fester Stoffe, D-01187 Dresden, Germany

We employ a density-matrix theory to analyze the ultrafast dynamics of metallic two-dimensional spin density wave systems on short time scales far away from thermal equilibrium. In particular, we study a non-adiabatic regime where the full account for the time evolution of anomalous expectation values and the coherences between different quasiparticle states are required. We calculate the time evolution of the SDW mean-field order parameter and compare its behavior with that of a superconductor. In addition, we discuss the transition between the adiabatic and the non-adiabatic regimes, where the order parameter oscillates, and a description in terms of the quasiparticle occupations becomes insufficient.
