Measuring momentum-resolved dissipation of phonon-polaritons in LiNbO with terahertz driving

Megan F. Biggs, Rossella Acampora, Niccolò Sellati +5

Mapping the dispersion of polaritons, hybrid quasiparticles arising from light-matter coupling, can provide key insights into the material dielectric response, coupling strength, a…

Two-dimensional THz spectroscopy in electronic systems: a many-body diagrammatic approach

Jacopo Fiore, Niccolò Sellati, Mattia Udina +1

The term two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) usually refers to experimental setups where a coherently generated electric field in a sample is recorded over many runs as a…

Light-induced Faraday effect from dynamical breakdown of Kleinman symmetry

Niccolò Sellati, Jacopo Fiore, Lara Benfatto

The observation of anomalously large polarization rotations in pump-probe experiments with circularly polarized light has recently challenged the conventional understanding of the…

Anharmonic phonon coupling enabled by local inversion symmetry breaking at domain walls in ferroelastics

Seyyed Jabbar Mousavi, Vivek Unikandanunni, Niccolo Sellati +7

In ferroelastic materials, spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to the formation of twin domains. Although the bulk crystal typically remains centrosymmetric, inversion symmetry can…

Ultrafast Two-Dimensional Spectroscopy Uncovers Ubiquitous Electron-Paramagnon Coupling in Cuprate Superconductors

Francesco Proietto, Alessandra Milloch, Paolo Franceschini +20

The coupling between electronic excitations and collective bosonic modes is fundamental to the emergence of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates. Despite extensive effort…

Investigating Josephson plasmons in layered cuprates via nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy

Jacopo Fiore, Niccolò Sellati, Francesco Gabriele +4

Josephson plasmons in layered superconductors represent a natural source of optical non-linearity, thanks to their intrinsically anharmonic nature. Here we derive the selection rul…
