Abstract

Femtosecond reflection spectroscopy was performed on a perovskite-type manganite, Gd_0.55Sr_0.45MnO₃, with the short-range charge and orbital order (CO/OO). Immediately after the photoirradiation, a large increase of the reflectivity was detected in the mid-infrared region. The optical conductivity spectrum under photoirradiation obtained from the Kramers-Kronig analyses of the reflectivity changes demonstrates a formation of a metallic state. This suggests that ferromagnetic spin arrangements occur within the time resolution (∼200 fs) through the double exchange interaction, resulting in an ultrafast CO/OO to FM switching.
