Abstract
Ba6Cr2S10 is a recently discovered magnetic material,in which the spins are aligned ferromagnetically in the ab-plane and anti-parallelly in a paired form along the c-axis.It is characterized as a quasi-one dimensional(1D)dimerized structure with a ferrotoroidic order,forming the simplest candidate toroidal magnetic(TM)order and exhibiting an anti-ferromagnetic-like transition at around 10 K.Time-resolved ultrafast dynamics investigation of the novel A-Cr-S(A:metal elements)family of quantum materials has rarely been reported.Here,we investigate the time-resolved pump-probe ultrafast dynamics of a Ba.6Cr2S10 single crystal.A prominent change in the photo-excited carrier dynamics is observed at Tc=10 K,corresponding to the reported TM-paramagnetic phase transition.A potential unknown magnetic transition is also found at T*=29 K.Our results provide new evidence for the TM magnetic transition in Ba6Cr2S10,and shed light on phase transitions in TM quantum materials.
