ABSTRACT

Electronic phases in quantum materials are often governed by nanoscale inhomogeneity, where local order develops within spatially confined regions or puddles. A prominent example is an incommensurate charge-density-wave (I-CDW) that comprises locally commensurate domains. In 2$H$-NbSe$_2$, such an I-CDW state persists alongside lattice anharmonicity and superconductivity, raising fundamental questions about the dynamical stabilization of CDW order in puddles. Here, we probe the puddle-dynamics in 2$H$-NbSe$_2$. Raman scattering reveals a strong Fano-coupling between the interlayer shear vibration and the CDW amplitude mode. Time-resolved reflectivity measurement shows a low-frequency ~0.15 THz coherent overdamped oscillation onsetting within the CDW regime at ~17 K, pointing towards a so far unexplored transition. This we identify as a Fano-coupled phonon-CDW hybrid emerging from the collective dynamics of CDW puddles. These dynamics highlight how lattice pinning and electronic correlations in layered materials affect the CDW order, which is crucial for the design of novel Van der Waals devices.

研究动机与目标

  • 研究 2H-NbSe2 中的纳米尺度 CDW 斑点及其时间动态。
  • 理解晶格振动如何通过 Fano 耦合与 CDW 振幅模态相互作用。
  • 在 CDW 斑点中识别新兴的集体动力学及其温度依赖性。

提出的方法

  • 对机械剥离的 NbSe2 薄片进行非偏振拉曼光谱测量，以提取拉曼易敏度并识别模态耦合。
  • 使用时间分辨泵浦-探測反射率来监测超快 CDW 与超导动态，并提取弛豫时间和振荡频率。
  • 用 Fano 线形模型拟合拉曼光谱，以量化层间剪切声子与 CDW 振幅模态之间的耦合。
  • 将瞬态反射率建模为快速上升、缓慢衰减以及超阻尼振荡的卷积，以表征斑点动力学。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1NbSe2 中层间剪切振动与 CDW 振幅模态之间是否存在 Fano 耦合？
  • RQ2在拉曼和超快响应中，CDW 斑点动力学的温度相关信号是什么？
  • RQ3是否存在与 CDW 斑点相关的新 Emergent 低频集体模态，以及它与超导性之间的关系？

主要发现

  • 在拉曼光谱中观察到层间剪切声子（约 ~29 cm^-1）与 CDW 振幅模态（约 ~35 cm^-1）之间的强 Fano 耦合。
  • 超快反射率揭示出一个低频 (~0.15–0.18 THz) 的超阻尼振荡，在 CDW 区域出现并追踪 CDW 与超导序。
  • 超阻尼模态在约 17 K 出现，与衰减时间发散相吻合，暗示 CDW 斑点的玻璃状动力学。
  • Fano 耦合强度 ν 在 50 K 以下增加，在约 17 K 达到峰值，然后在 ~14 K 以下稳定，表明斑点相干性演变以及可能出现的超导涨落。
  • CDW 斑点及其动力学影响全局 CDW 序，并可能解释在减少层间剪切应变时出现的非整数量及增强 CDW 相干性。
