Valley polarization driven by two-color circular fields: a rotating frame and strong-field perspective

Rui E. F. Silva, Olga Smirnova, Misha Ivanov +1

Valley polarization in hexagonal materials driven by the form of the lightwave and its orientation relative to the lattice, rather than solely by the helicity of the driver, has re…

Role of Spin-Orbit Coupling in High-order Harmonic Generation Revealed by Super-Cycle Rydberg Trajectories

Nicola Mayer, Samuel Beaulieu, Alvaro Jimenez-Galan +7

High-harmonic generation is typically thought of as a sub-laser-cycle process, with the electron's excursion in the continuum lasting a fraction of the optical cycle. However, it w…
