Ultrafast dynamics in the Lifshitz-type 5${d}$ pyrochlore antiferromagnet Cd$_{2}$Os$_{2}$O$_{7}$


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of Cd$_2$Os$_2$O$_7$, a prototype material showing a Lifshitz-type transition as a function of temperature. In the paramagnetic metallic state, the photo-reflectivity shows a sub-picosecond relaxation, followed by a featureless small offset. In the antiferromagnetic state slightly below $T_N$, however, the photo-reflectivity resurges over hundreds of picoseconds, which goes beyond the usual realm of the effective-temperature model. Our observations are consistent with the Lifshitz phase transition of Cd$_2$Os$_2$O$_7$ driven by the evolution of the local magnetic moment.
