We study the nonequilibrium phase diagram of long-lived photo-doped states in the one-dimensional $U$-$V$ Hubbard model, where $eta$-pairing, spin density wave and charge density wave (CDW) phases are found. The photo-doped states are studied using an effective model obtained by a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation combined with separate chemical potentials for the approximately conserved pseudoparticle excitations, leading to a generalized Gibbs ensemble type description. These photo-doped states are characterized by gapless ($eta$-paring) and gapped (CDW) features in the nonequilibrium spectra. For small $V$, the $eta$-pairing correlations dominate over a wide doping range even when the SU$_c(2)$ symmetry that protects $eta$-pairing in the pure Hubbard model is absent. With increasing $V$, the CDW correlations take over in a wide doping range and are strong relative to the chemically doped case. We attribute the strong CDW correlations to the competition between intra- and inter-species repulsion and the one-dimensional configuration. Our results show that photo-doped strongly correlated systems exhibit different phases than conventional semiconductors.

We study high-harmonic generation (HHG) in the one-dimensional Hubbard model in order to understand its relation to elementary excitations as well as the similarities and differences to semiconductors. The simulations are based on the infinite time-e
volving block decimation (iTEBD) method and exact diagonalization. We clarify that the HHG originates from the doublon-holon recombination, and the scaling of the cutoff frequency is consistent with a linear dependence on the external field. We demonstrate that the subcycle features of the HHG can be reasonably described by a phenomenological three step model for a doublon-holon pair. We argue that the HHG in the one-dimensional Mott insulator is closely related to the dispersion of the doublon-holon pair with respect to its relative momentum, which is not necessarily captured by the single-particle spectrum due to the many-body nature of the elementary excitations. For the comparison to semiconductors, we introduce effective models obtained from the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, i.e. a strong-coupling expansion, which allows us to disentangle the different processes involved in the Hubbard model: intraband dynamics of doublons and holons, interband dipole excitations, and spin exchanges. These demonstrate the formal similarity of the Mott system to the semiconductor models in the dipole gauge, and reveal that the spin dynamics, which does not directly affect the charge dynamics, can reduce the HHG intensity. We also show that the long-range component of the intraband dipole moment has a substantial effect on the HHG intensity, while the correlated hopping terms for the doublons and holons essentially determine the shape of the HHG spectrum. A new numerical method to evaluate single-particle spectra within the iTEBD method is also introduced.
Detailed understanding of the role of single dopant atoms in host materials has been crucial for the continuing miniaturization in the semiconductor industry as local charging and trapping of electrons can completely change the behaviour of a device.
Similarly, as dopants can turn a Mott insulator into a high temperature superconductor, their electronic behaviour at the atomic scale is of much interest. Due to limited time resolution of conventional scanning tunnelling microscopes, most atomic scale studies in these systems focussed on the time averaged effect of dopants on the electronic structure. Here, by using atomic scale shot-noise measurements in the doped Mott insulator Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$, we visualize sub-nanometer sized objects where remarkable dynamics leads to an enhancement of the tunnelling current noise by at least an order of magnitude. From the position, current and energy dependence we argue that these defects are oxygen dopant atoms that were unaccounted for in previous scanning probe studies, whose local environment leads to charge dynamics that strongly affect the tunnelling mechanism. The unconventional behaviour of these dopants opens up the possibility to dynamically control doping at the atomic scale, enabling the direct visualization of the effect of local charging on e.g. high T$_{text{c}}$ superconductivity.
We define, compute and analyze the nonequilibrium differential optical conductivity of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half-filling after applying a pump pulse, using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. The m
elting of the Mott insulator is accompanied by a suppression of the local magnetic moment and ensuing photogeneration of doublon-holon pairs. The differential optical conductivity reveals $(i)$ mid-gap states related to parity-forbidden optical states, and $(ii)$ strong renormalization and hybridization of the excitonic resonance and the absorption band, yielding a Fano resonance. We offer evidence and interpret such a resonance as a signature of nonequilibrium optical excitations resembling excitonic strings, (bi)excitons, and unbound doublon-holon pairs, depending on the magnitude of the intersite Coulomb repulsion. We discuss our results in the context of pump and probe spectroscopy experiments on organic Mott insulators.
We report a La2CuO4-like interlayer antiferromagnetic order in Sr2IrO4 films with large orthorhombic distortion (> 1.5%). The biaxial lattice strain in epitaxial heterostructures of Sr2IrO4/Ca3Ru2O7 lowers the crystal symmetry of Sr2IrO4 from tetrago
nal (C4) to orthorhombic (C2), guiding the Ir 5d Jeff = 1/2 pseudospin moment parallel to the elongated b-axis via magnetic anisotropy. From resonant X-ray scattering experiments, we observed an antiferromagnetic order in the orthorhombic Sr2IrO4 film whose interlayer stacking pattern is inverted from that of the tetragonal Sr2IrO4 crystal. This interlayer stacking is similar to that of the orthorhombic La2CuO4, implying that the asymmetric interlayer exchange interaction along a and b-directions exceeds the anisotropic interlayer pseudo-dipolar interaction. Our result suggests that strain-induced distortion can provide a delicate knob for tuning the long-range magnetic order in quasi-two-dimensional systems by evoking the competition between the interlayer exchange coupling and the pseudo-dipolar interaction.
Mott insulators sometimes show dramatic changes in their electronic states after photoirradiation, as indicated by photoinduced Mott-insulator-to-metal transition. In the photoexcited states of Mott insulators, electron wavefunctions are more delocal
ized than in the ground state, and long-range Coulomb interactions play important roles in charge dynamics. However, their effects are difficult to discriminate experimentally. Here, we show that in a one-dimensional Mott insulator, bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene-difluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (ET-F2TCNQ), long-range Coulomb interactions stabilize not only excitons, doublon-holon bound states, but also biexcitons. By measuring terahertz-electric-field-induced reflectivity changes, we demonstrate that odd- and even-parity excitons are split off from a doublon-holon continuum. Further, spectral changes of reflectivity induced by a resonant excitation of the odd-parity exciton reveals that an exciton-biexciton transition appears just below the exciton-transition peak. Theoretical simulations show that long-range Coulomb interactions over four sites are necessary to stabilize the biexciton. Such information is indispensable for understanding the non-equilibrium dynamics of photoexcited Mott insulators.
