Evidence for the weakly coupled electron mechanism in an Anderson-Blount polar metal

A ferroelectric metal is a peculiar state proposed by Anderson and Blunt half a century ago, but is not fully understood. Here, the authors present a time-resolved reflectivity study of LiOsO3 demonstrating evidence for decoupling of itinerant electrons and phonons in the polar transition of the mat...
