Transient spectra of photo-excited states in double exchange model

We investigate photo-induced effect in strongly correlated electron systems where conduction electrons couple with localized spins. In particular, the photo-induced phenomena in a charge-ordered insulator associated with antiferromagnetic order are examined. Transient excitation spectra are calculated by the exact diagonalization method in one-dimensional extended double exchange model. We find that in the photo-excited states, finite spectral weights in the one-particle excitation spectra appear inside the insulating gap and its band width increases with increasing time. This change of the electronic structure is correlated with the time development of the localized spin correlation. These results indicate that a strong coupling between spin and charge governs the photo-induced phenomena in this system.
