Abstract High-pressure ultrafast dynamics has been recently developed, enabling the exploration of non-equilibrium properties of various quantum materials under high pressure. Particularly, by investigating the pressure dependence of time-resolved ultrafast dynamics, we have discovered a pressure-induced phonon bottleneck effect (PBE). To date, all reported PBEs are due to fully closed gaps, which was reflected in the simultaneous characteristic changes in both amplitude and lifetime of the phonon-phonon scattering slow relaxation component. However, as reflected through its connection to Euler disk, incompletely closed gaps can also induce PBEs. In this work, we report the first PBE due to a finite shrinking gap. As is known, it is challenging to directly observe high-pressure-induced variations in electronic band gaps due to the diamond anvil cell. Here, by investigating Sr$_{{2}}$IrO$_{{4}}$ in our previous work, we obtain an empirical formula for the pressure-induced energy gap variation at room temperature. Our quantitative analysis shows that the gap is finite shrinking rather than fully closed.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
