| contents | Laser excitation has emerged as an effective tool for probing microscopic interactions and manipulating phases of matter. Among charge density wave (CDW) materials, 1T-TaS2 has garnered significant attention due to its diverse stacking orders and photoexcited responses. However, the mechanisms driving transitions among different stacking orders and the microscopic out-of-equilibrium dynamics remain unclear. We elucidate that photoexcitation can introduce interlayer stacking order transitions facilitated by laser-induced intralayer reconstruction in 1T-TaS2. Importantly, our finding reveals a novel pathway to introduce different phases through laser excitations, apparently distinct from thermally-induced phase transitions via interlayer sliding. In particular, photoexcitation is able to considerably change potential energy surfaces and evoke collective lattice dynamics. Consequently, the laser-induced intralayer reconstruction plays a crucial role in interlayer stacking-order transition, offering a new method to create exotic stackings and quantum phases. The exploration opens up great opportunities for manipulating CDW phases and electronic properties on the femtosecond timescale. |
