Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is the main obstacle for heat flows from one material to
another. Understanding ITR becomes essential for the removal of redundant heat from fast …

Measuring thermal properties of materials is not only of fundamental importance in
understanding the transport processes of energy carriers (electrons and phonons in solids) …

Studies of the electromagnetic response of various classes of correlated electron materials
including transition-metal oxides, organic and molecular conductors, intermetallic …

The advent of pump-probe spectroscopy techniques paved the way to the exploration of
ultrafast dynamics of electrons and phonons in crystalline solids. Following photo-absorption …

Swift heavy ions cause material modification along their tracks, changes primarily due to
their very dense electronic excitation. The available data for threshold stopping powers …

The phase transition of VO 2 from a monoclinic insulator to a rutile metal, which occurs
thermally at TC= 340 K, can also be driven by strong photoexcitation. The ultrafast dynamics …

The dynamics of collective excitations of electrons, phonons, and spins are of fundamental
interest to develop a microscopic understanding of interactions among elementary …

The advent of intense ultrashort optical pulses spanning a frequency range from terahertz to
the visible has opened a new era in the experimental investigation and manipulation of …

As a newly emergent type-II Dirac semimetal, platinum telluride (PtTe 2) stands out from
other two dimensional noble-transition-metal dichalcogenides for the unique band structure …

Coherent phonon spectroscopy can provide microscopic insight into ultrafast lattice
dynamics and its coupling to other degrees of freedom under nonequilibrium conditions …
