Laser pulses capture unexplored polaronic states
An international research team has observed Jahn-Teller polarons, unique quasiparticles, in cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) crystals triggered by precisely tailored laser pulses. These polarons emerge through ultrafast electron transfer and local lattice distortions, dramatically influencing the material’s structural, electronic, and magnetic properties.
Using advanced pump probe spectroscopy and theoretical modeling led by physicists at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Ac
