Abstract

We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of Cd2_2Os2_2O7_7, a prototype material showing a Lifshitz-type transition as a function of temperature. In the paramagnetic metallic state, the photo-reflectivity shows a sub-picosecond relaxation, followed by a featureless small offset. In the antiferromagnetic state slightly below TNT_N, however, the photo-reflectivity resurges over hundreds of picoseconds, which goes beyond the usual realm of the effective-temperature model. Our observations are consistent with the Lifshitz phase transition of Cd2_2Os2_2O7_7 driven by the evolution of the local magnetic moment.
