Theoretical analysis reveals transient magnetic order in frustrated spin-Peierls systems after a quench, suggesting new phase control methods.
We study theoretically the dynamics of frustrated spin-Peierls systems after a quench from the paramagnetic state to the magnetically ordered state. By constructing and numerical simulating a minimal model, we show that it can exhibit a transient noncollinear magnetic order before settling in the equilibrium collinear magnetic order. The transient magnetic order is selected by the phonon fluctuations originated from the initial state. Our results reveal a mechanism for controlling the phases of matter by exploiting incoherent, nonequilibrium fluctuations.
