摘要
Ultrafast light-matter interactions enable inducing exotic material phases by promoting access to kinetic processes blocked in equilibrium. Despite potential opportunities, actively using nonequilibrium kinetics for material discovery is limited by the poor understanding on intermediate states of driven systems. Here, using single-pulse time-resolved imaging with x-ray free-electron lasers, we found intermediate states of photoexcited bismuth nanoparticles that showed kinetically reversed surface ordering during ultrafast melting. This entropy-lowering reaction was further investigated by molecular dynamics simulations to reveal that observed kinetics were thermodynamically buried in equilibrium, which emphasized the critical role of electron-mediated ultrafast free-energy modification in inducing exotic material phases. This study demonstrated that ultrafast photoexcitations of electrons provide an efficient strategy to induce hidden material phases by overcoming thermodynamic barriers via nonequilibrium reaction pathways.
