Optical enhancement of superconductivity via targeted destruction of charge density waves
@article{Dehghani2020OpticalEO, title={Optical enhancement of superconductivity via targeted destruction of charge density waves}, author={Hossein Dehghani and Zachary M. Raines and Victor M. Galitski and Mohammad Hafezi}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2020} }
It has been experimentally established that the occurrence of charge density waves is a common feature of various under-doped cuprate superconducting compounds. The observed states, which are often found in the form of bond density waves (BDW), often occur in a temperature regime immediately above the superconducting transition temperature. Motivated by recent optical experiments on superconducting materials, where it has been shown that optical irradiation can transiently improve the…
