Ferroelastic domain switching by ultrafast photoinduced strain
Daniel G. Lourens, Maarten Kwaaitaal, Carl S. Davies +1
The crystal lattice underpins the fundamental properties of condensed matter, with ferroic order emerging sensitively from atomic coordination. Manipulating the lattic therefore pr…
Single-pulse strain-induced precessional dynamics of magnetization in Co-doped iron garnet
Héloïse Damas, Carl S. Davies, Tomasz Zalewski +4
Ultrafast control of magnetization through lattice excitation provides a route to manipulating magnetic order on short timescales, yet the role of transient strain in driving magne…
A crystal-field route to THz-driven magnetization
T. Zalewski, M. S. Mrudul, Y. Lee +5
Light carries angular momentum, but the microscopic pathways that transform it into magnetization remain elusive. Here we establish that crystal-field excitations, historically vie…
Optical switching of antiferromagnetic domains by nonreciprocal heat current
Takeshi Hayashida, Shunsuke Izumikawa, Kenta Kimura +2
What distinguishes front from back? In physics, such directionality emerges only when an underlying symmetry is broken. Antiferromagnets that inherently break both space-inversion…
Photoinduced strain and polarization switching in barium titanate in the far-infrared spectral range
Maarten Kwaaitaal, Daniel Lourens, Carl S. Davies +1
Short mid-infrared laser pulses efficiently facilitate ultrafast manipulation of ferroic order parameters, including full reversal of magnetization or ferroelectric polarization, w…
