Theory of photoinduced ultrafast switching to a spin-orbital ordered hidden phase
Ultrafast excitation of materials can cause the formation of hidden phases that are not accessible in thermal equilibrium. Li et al. identify and investigate theoretically a hidden phase that can be accessed in systems with intertwined spin and orbital-ordering such as KCuF3.
