Three-phonon mixing as a source of light-induced chirality
Y . Zhu, A. Vanderhaegen, Z. Zeng +7
Mid- and far-infrared optical pulses have found wide applicability in experiments in which collective modes of solids are driven nonlinearly, as a means to manipulate functional pr…
The optical phonoelectric effect
D. Choi, M. Först, M. Fechner +9
Piezoelectricity is a technologically important property of certain insulators in which mechanical strain induces an electrical polarization. However, the rate at which a piezoelec…
The Piezochiral Effect
Z. Zeng, M. Först, M. Fechner +3
Chirality is a pervasive property of matter that underpins many important phenomena across physics, chemistry and biology. Given its broad significance, the development of protocol…
Ultrafast non-volatile rewritable ferroaxial switching
Z. Zeng, M. Först, M. Fechner +3
Ultrafast switching of ferroic phases is an important research frontier, with significant technological potential. Yet, current efforts are meeting some key challenges, ranging fro…
