Quantifying angular momentum of coherently driven circular phonons

Roman Mankowsky, Serhane Zerdane, Shih-Wen Huang +9

The use of intense terahertz (THz) pulses to manipulate low-energy excitations offers a powerful approach for ultrafast control of electronic and magnetic properties in materials.…

THz-induced phonon mode mixing and collective dynamics in a polar nanolattice

Elizabeth Skoropata, Peter M. Derlet, Hiroki Ueda +13

Manipulating phonons through symmetry is a fundamental approach to alter the dynamic responses of materials. Most often new phases are sought through control of the unit-cell (e.g.…

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…

Uniaxial strain-driven ferroelastic domain control in LaAlO3

Matthias Roeper, Robin Buschbeck, Jakob Wetzel +15

Multiferroic domain walls in functional oxides exhibit properties distinct from the bulk and are increasingly exploited as active elements in nanoelectronic and photonic devices. D…

Terahertz-driven parametric excitation of Raman-active phonons in LaAlO

M. Basini, V. Unikandanunni, F. Gabriele +7

Achieving parametric excitation in an oscillating physical system involves periodically adjusting one of its parameters to modulate the oscillator's natural frequency. This phenome…
