Possible experimental test of the nonlinear phononics interpretation of light-induced superconductivity

Experimental evidence for a transient enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature of YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x} in the presence of an intense THz or infrared pump pulse was ascribed to nonlinear phononics effects. Here, I introduce a simple phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau model of this phenom...
