Disentangling spin polarization from driven circular ionic motion in EuTiO

Clifford J. Allington, Matthew J. Lutz, Enoch +31

Coherently driven circular ionic motion has been reported to produce large helicity-dependent optical responses attributed to transient magnetization. However, the microscopic natu…

Ultrafast Faraday Rotation Probe of Chiral Phonon-Polaritons in LiNbO3

Megan F. Biggs, Sin-hang, Ho +4

Time reversal symmetry breaking motion of chiral phonon-polaritons in LiNbO3 is probed via the ultrafast Faraday effect. By combining a pair of perpendicularly polarized THz pulses…
