Ultrafast Control of Charge Density and Spin Density waves in Chromium — •Louis Ponet1,2, Oleg Gorobtsov3, Andrej Singer3, and Sergey Artyukhin11Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia — 2Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa — 3Cornell University, Ithaca

Experimental advances in ultrafast physics have allowed to monitor structural and electronic processes and even phase transitions on their natural timescales. Here we model recent experiments on ultrafast control of spin density wave phase in elemental Chromium with a sequence of optical pulses. The strain wave and CDW, induced by the spin density modulation via exchange striction, are monitored using x-ray diffraction. Results show order parameter oscillations and a partial melting of the SDW in response to optical pulses. Interestingly, depending on the exact delay between two sequential optical pulses, one can increase or decrease the oscillation amplitude, allowing for optimal control. We use Landau theory and heat transfer equations to describe the dynamics of the interacting charge and spin density waves. All details of the experiment are replicated to a high degree by the model.
