【 摘 要 】
Photodoping of Mott insulators or correlated metals can create an unusual metallic state which simultaneously hosts holelike and electronlike particles. We study the dynamics of this state up to long times, as it passes its kinetic energy to the environment. When the system cools down, it crosses over from a bad metal into a resilient quasiparticle regime, in which quasiparticle bands are formed with separate Fermi levels for electrons and holes, but quasiparticles do not yet satisfy the Fermi-liquid paradigm. Subsequently, the transfer of energy to the environment slows down significantly, and the system does not reach the Fermi-liquid state even on the timescale of picoseconds. The transient photodoped strange metal exhibits unusual properties of relevance for ultrafast charge and heat transport: In particular, there can be an asymmetry in the properties of electrons and holes, and strong correlations between electrons and holes, as seen in the spectral properties.
