Identification of metastable lattice distortion free charge density wave at photoinduced interface via TRARPES by Shaofeng Duan, Binshuo Zhang, Zihao Wang, Shichong Wang, Lingxiao Gu, Haoran Liu, Jiongyu Huang, Jianzhe Liu, Dong Qian, Yanfeng Guo, Wentao Zhang

“…In contrast, ultrafast photoexcitation allows access to exotic states where a single degree of freedom dominates in the time domain, enabling the study of underlying physics without interference. Here, we report the realization of a long-lived metastable CDW state without lattice distortion at the photoinduced interfaces in GdTe3 using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. …”
