Role of equilibrium fluctuations in light-induced order
Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Anshul Kogar +17
Engineering novel states of matter with light is at the forefront of materials research. An intensely studied direction is to realize broken-symmetry phases that are "hidden" under…
Unconventional hysteretic transition in a charge density wave
B. Q. Lv, Alfred Zong, D. Wu +25
Hysteresis underlies a large number of phase transitions in solids, giving rise to exotic metastable states that are otherwise inaccessible. Here, we report an unconventional hyste…
Polarization-Resolved Extreme Ultraviolet Second Harmonic Generation from LiNbO
Can B. Uzundal, Sasawat Jamnuch, Emma Berger +17
Second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy ubiquitously enables the investigation of surface chemistry, interfacial chemistry as well as symmetry properties in solids. Polarizat…
Unconventional light-induced states visualized by ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy
Alfred Zong, Anshul Kogar, Nuh Gedik
Exciting electrons in solids with intense light pulses offers the possibility of generating new states of matter through nonthermal means and controlling their macroscopic properti…
Periodic dynamics in superconductors induced by an impulsive optical quench
Pavel E. Dolgirev, Alfred Zong, Marios H. Michael +4
A number of experiments have evidenced signatures of enhanced superconducting correlations after photoexcitation. Initially, these experiments were interpreted as resulting from qu…
