M. Hangyo et al., ULTRAFAST PHOTOEXCITED QUASI-PARTICLE DYNAMICS IN YBCO FILMS OBSERVEDBY THZ EMISSION, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 7(2), 1997, pp. 2909-2912
We observed a femtosecond time-transient nonequilibrium state in optic
ally excited YBCO thin films for the first time. Ultrashort electromag
netic pulses were radiated from the films by an ultrafast supercurrent
modulation with fs laser pulse irradiation. Quasiparticle dynamics wa
s characterized by the analysis of the emission waveforms based on Rot
hwarf-Taylor rate equations.
