Phonon-induced magnetization dynamics in Co-doped iron garnets

A. Frej, C. S. Davies, A. Kirilyuk +1

The developing field of strain-induced magnetization dynamics offers a promising path toward efficiently controlling spins and phase transitions. Understanding the underlying mecha…

Epsilon-near-zero regime as the key to ultrafast control of functional properties of solids

Maarten Kwaaitaal, Daniel G Lourens, Carl S. Davies +1

Strong light-matter interaction constitutes the bedrock of all photonic applications, empowering material elements with the ability to create and mediate interactions of light with…

Phononic Switching of Magnetization by the Ultrafast Barnett Effect

C. S. Davies, F. G. N. Fennema, A. Tsukamoto +3

The Barnett effect, discovered more than a century ago, describes how an inertial body with otherwise zero net magnetic moment acquires spontaneous magnetization when mechanically…

Dynamic self-organisation and pattern formation by magnon-polarons

M. Gidding, T. Janssen, C. S. Davies +1

Nonlinear dynamics can give rise, via the processes of self-organisation and pattern formation, to the spontaneous manifestation of order in open and complex systems far from equil…

Helicity-independent all-optical switching of magnetization in ferrimagnetic alloys

C. S. Davies, J. H. Mentink, A. V. Kimel +2

We review and discuss the process of single-shot helicity-independent all-optical switching of magnetization by which a single suitably-ultrafast excitation, under the right condit…

Cavity-Dumping a Single Infrared Pulse from a Free-Electron Laser for Two-Color Pump-Probe Experiments

T. Janssen, C. S. Davies, M. Gidding +3

Electromagnetic radiation in the mid- to far-infrared spectral range represents an indispensable tool for the study of numerous types of collective excitations in solids and molecu…
