Photo-induced hidden phases are often observed in materials with intertwined orders. Understanding the formation of these non-thermal phases is challenging and requires a resolution of the cooperative interplay between different orders on the ultra-short timescale. In this work, we demonstrate that non-equilibrium photo-excitations can induce a state with spin-orbital orders entirely different from the equilibrium state in the three-quarter-filled two-band Hubbard model. We identify a general mechanism governing the transition to the hidden state, which relies on a non-thermal partial melting of the intertwined orders mediated by photoinduced charge excitations in the presence of strong spin-orbital exchange interactions. Our study theoretically confirms the crucial role played by orbital degrees of freedom in the light-induced dynamics of strongly correlated materials and it shows that the switching to hidden states can be controlled already on the fs timescale of the electron dynamics.

Introduction: A complicated scenario where "multiple disease threats coexist and multiple health influencing factors are intertwined" is demonstrated by the fact that dental caries, obesity myopia and scoliosis have emerged as global public health issues. The problem of diseases co-existing in living things can be resolved by using probiotics. , has gained attention recently due to its probiotic properties, useful traits, and potential medical applications.

Unconventional superconductivity is known for its intertwining with other correlated states, making exploration of the intertwined orders important for understanding its pairing mechanism. In particular, spin and nematic orders are widely observed in iron-based superconductors; however, the presence of charge order is uncommon. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy, and through expanding the phase diagram of iron-arsenide superconductor BaKFeAs to the hole-doping regime beyond KFeAs by surface doping, we demonstrate the formation of a charge density wave (CDW) on the arsenide surface of heavily hole-doped BaKFeAs.

Deep representation learning of protein-protein interaction networks for enhanced pattern discovery.

Sci Adv

December 2024

Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA.

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, where nodes represent proteins and edges depict myriad interactions among them, are fundamental to understanding the dynamics within biological systems. Despite their pivotal role in modern biology, reliably discerning patterns from these intertwined networks remains a substantial challenge. The essence of the challenge lies in holistically characterizing the relationships of each node with others in the network and effectively using this information for accurate pattern discovery.

Article Synopsis
  • High-temperature superconducting cuprates exhibit unique patterns of spin and charge orders that interact with superconductivity in complex ways.
  • Research using advanced quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveals that these patterns change differently depending on the material and temperature, particularly with varying charge transfer energy and doping levels.
  • The study concludes that charge modulations become less correlated with spin modulations as doping increases, aligning with experimental results, and suggests that high-temperature charge correlations differ from low-temperature stripe orders.
