Mechanism of Ultrafast Relaxation of a Photo-Carrier in Antiferromagnetic Spin Background — •Lev Vidmar — University of Munich, Germany

Understanding of relaxation dynamics in correlated condensed-matter systems is vital for identification of dominant couplings in pump-probe experiments, as well as for designing setups where ordered phases are manipulated using external fields.. In many cases, phonons represent an important relaxation channel, however, in two-dimensional systems with antiferromagnetic correlations, this relaxation channel may not be the dominant one [1]. By applying state-of-the-art numerical simulations of the t-J model [2] we show that the relaxation due to coupling to antiferromagnetic spin excitations can be very fast [3]. We show that the key relaxation mechanism at very short times corresponds to the creation of high-energy antiferromagnetic excitations in the close proximity of the photo-excited holes. Such a mechanism enables an energy transfer of more than 1 eV on a 10 femtosecond time scale.
