The excited state dynamics of correlated electron and electron-phonon systems triggered by an oscillating electric-field pulse of large amplitude are theoretically investigated. A negative-temperature state and inversion of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions are induced even by a symmetric monocycle pulse. This fact is numerically demonstrated, using the exact diagonalization method, in a band-insulator phase of one-dimensional three-quarter-filled strongly dimerized extended Peierls-Hubbard and Holstein models. When the total-energy increment is maximized as a function of the electric field amplitude, the occupancy of the bonding and antibonding orbitals is inverted to produce a negative-temperature state. Around this state, the dependences of time-averaged electron-electron and electron-phonon correlation functions on interaction parameters are opposite to those in the ground state.

Many-electron dynamics induced by a symmetric monocycle electric-field pulse of large amplitude is theoretically investigated in one- and two-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard models on regular lattices (i.e., without dimerization) using the exact diagonalization method for small systems and the Hartree-Fock approximation for large systems. The formation of a negative-temperature state and the change from repulsive interactions to effective attractive interactions are shown to be realized for a wide region of the field amplitude and the excitation energy. For a nonnegligible intersite repulsive interaction, the numerical results are consistent with the fact that the phase separation between charge-rich and charge-poor regions is caused by the corresponding effective attraction.
Using a high-frequency expansion in periodically driven extended Hubbard models, where the strengths and ranges of density-density interactions are arbitrary, we obtain the effective interactions and bandwidth, which depend sensitively on the polarization of the driving field. Then, we numerically calculate modulations of correlation functions in a quarter-filled extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor interactions on a triangular lattice with trimers after monocycle pulse excitation. We discuss how the resultant modulations are compatible with the effective interactions and bandwidth derived above on the basis of their dependence on the polarization of photoexcitation, which is easily accessible by experiments. Some correlation functions after monocycle pulse excitation are consistent with the effective interactions, which are weaker or stronger than the original ones. However, the photoinduced enhancement of anisotropic charge correlations previously discussed for the three-quarter-filled organic conductor $alpha$-(bis[ethylenedithio]-tetrathiafulvalene)$_2$I$_3$ [$alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$] in the metallic phase is not fully explained by the effective interactions or bandwidth, which are derived independently of the filling.
Optical excitation transfer in nanostructured matter has been intensively studied in various material systems for versatile applications. Herein, we discuss the percolation of optical excitations in randomly organized nanostructures caused by optical near-field interactions governed by Yukawa potential in a two-dimensional stochastic model. The model results demonstrate the appearance of two phases of percolation of optical excitation as a function of the localization degree of near-field interaction. Moreover, it indicates sublinear scaling with percolation distance when the light localization is strong. The results provide fundamental insights into optical excitation transfer and will facilitate the design and analysis of nanoscale signal-transfer characteristics.
We apply Coupled Cluster Method to a strongly correlated lattice and develop the Spectral Coupled Cluster equations by finding an approximation to the resolvent operator, that gives the spectral response for an certain class of probe operators. We apply the method to a $MnO_2$ plane model with a parameters choice which corresponds to previous experimental works and which gives a non-nominal symmetry ground state. We show that this state can be observed using our Spectral Coupled Cluster Method by probing the Coupled Cluster solution obtained from the nominal reference state. In this case one observes a negative energy resonance which corresponds to the true ground state.
We consider a dynamical phase transition induced by a short optical pulse in a system prone to thermodynamical instability. We address the case of pumping to excitons whose density contributes directly to the order parameter. To describe both thermodynamic and dynamic effects on equal footing, we adopt a view of the excitonic insulator for the phase transition and suggest a formation of the Bose condensate for the pumped excitons. The work is motivated by experiments in donor-acceptor organic compounds with a neutral-ionic phase transition coupled to the spontaneous lattice dimerization and to charge transfer excitons. The double nature of the ensemble of excitons leads to an intricate time evolution, in particular to macroscopic quantum oscillations from the interference between the Bose condensate of excitons and the ground state of the excitonic insulator. The coupling of excitons and the order parameter also leads to self-trapping of their wave function, akin to self-focusing in optics. The locally enhanced density of excitons can surpass a critical value to trigger the phase transformation, even if the mean density is below the required threshold. The system is stratified in domains that evolve through dynamical phase transitions and sequences of merging.
