Despite significant achievements in characterizing the properties of Sr2RuO4 over the last three decades, the precise nature of its electronic ground state is still unresolved. In this work, we provide a missing piece of the puzzle by uncovering evidence of electronic nematic order in the normal state of Sr2RuO4, revealed by ultrafast time-resolved optical dichroism measurements of uniaxially strained thin films. This nematic order, whose domains are aligned by the strain, spontaneously breaks the fourfold rotational symmetry of the crystal. The temperature dependence of the dichroism resembles an Ising-like order parameter, and optical pumping induces a coherent oscillation of its amplitude mode. The existence of electronic nematic order in the normal state of Sr2RuO4 may have consequences for the form and mechanism of superconductivity in this material.

Interfacial thermal resistance has been often estimated and understood using the Landauer formalism that assumes incident phonons with equilibrium distribution. However, previous studies suggest that phonons are out-of-equilibrium near the interface because of the heat flow through the leads and the scattering of phonons by the interface. In this paper, we report a systematic study on how vibrational spectra mismatch affects the degree of phonon non-equilibrium near an interface, how fast it is relaxed as the phonons diffuse into a lead, and the overall interfacial thermal resistance from the non-equilibrium phonons. Our discussion is based on the solution of the Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation with ab initio inputs for 36 interfaces between semi-infinite group-III (Al, Ga, In) and group-V (P, As, Sb) compound semiconductor leads. The simulation reveals that the non-equilibrium phonons cause significant interfacial thermal resistance for all 36 interfaces, making the overall interfacial thermal resistance two to three times larger than that predicted by the Landauer formalism. We observe a clear trend that the degree of phonon non-equilibrium near an interface and the interfacial thermal resistance from the non-equilibrium phonons increase as the mismatch of the Debye temperature of two lead materials increases. This contrasts with the Landauer formalism’s predictions, which show no correlation with the Debye temperature mismatch. The relaxation length of the phonon non-equilibrium varies significantly from 50 nm to 1.5 µm depending on the combination of the lead materials. The relaxation length is proportional to the phonon mean free path of the corresponding lead material but also largely depends on the material in the opposite lead. This suggests the relaxation length cannot be considered an intrinsic property of the corresponding lead material. These findings offer vital insights for understanding non-equilibrium effects on the interfacial thermal transport
