Out-of-equilibrium charge redistribution data in a copper-oxide based superconductor by time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Description

This dataset was measured using a momentum microscope by time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on the prototypical high-temperature superconductor: optimally doped BSCCO at FEL FLASH, DESY in Hamburg. With time-resolved XPS, unique access to the dynamics of individual atoms in the unit cell is granted by means of chemical shifts of the core levels. Though the induced changes are small, with a rigorous fitting procedure, it is possible to extract significant changes observed mainly at the oxygen atoms in the copper oxide planes, while other oxygen atoms as well as strontium remain largely unaffected. Although it was acquired not in the superconducting phase, the observed dynamics point to a significant coupling of energy scales involving charge-transfer processes and optical excitations. Such findings can thus provide another puzzle piece for a better understanding of high-temperature superconductivity.
