Nonequilibrium Magnetic Oscillation with Cylindrical Vector Beams

Abstract

Magnetic oscillation is a generic property of electronic conductors under magnetic fields and widely appreciated as a useful probe of their electronic band structure, i.e., the Fermi surface geometry. However, the usage of the strong static magnetic field makes the measurement insensitive to the magnetic order of the target material. That is, the magnetic order is anyhow turned into a forced ferromagnetic one. Here we theoretically propose an experimental method of measuring the magnetic oscillation in a magnetic-order-resolved way by using the azimuthal cylindrical vector (CV) beam, an example of topological lightwaves. The azimuthal CV beam is unique in that when focused tightly, it develops a pure longitudinal magnetic field. We argue that this characteristic focusing property and the discrepancy in the relaxation timescale between conduction electrons and localized magnetic moments allow us to develop the nonequilibrium analog of the magnetic oscillation measurement. Our optical method would be also applicable to metals the under ultra-high pressure of diamond anvil cells.
