Nonresonant optomechanical control of structural phases
Jiaojian Shi, Yijing Huang, Christian Heide +24
Optical tweezers demonstrate how light can exert forces to trap, repel, and manipulate microscopic particles without absorption. Recent theory has suggested that such forces can ex…
Emergent Antiphase Stacking in a Transient Charge Density Wave
Jade Stanton, Gal Orenstein, Ryan A. Duncan +14
Photoexcitation can induce novel states in materials that are inaccessible in equilibrium, a recent example being the light-induced charge density wave (CDW) observed in $\text{LaT…
A textured polar phase in strained SrTiO3
Huaiyu Hugo Wang, Ernesto Flores, Jade Stanton +11
Quantum materials can harbour hidden phases whose microscopic structures differ from conventional ordered states while reproducing their macroscopic signatures, making them easy to…
Terahertz-induced tunnel ionization drives coherent Raman-active phonon in Bismuth
Bing Cheng, Patrick L. Kramer, Mariano Trigo +6
Driving coherent lattice motion with THz pulses has emerged as a novel pathway for achieving dynamic stabilization of exotic phases that are inaccessible in equilibrium quantum mat…
Nonresonant Raman control of ferroelectric polarization
Jiaojian Shi, Christian Heide, Haowei Xu +15
Important advances have recently been made in the search for materials with complex multi-phase landscapes that host photoinduced metastable collective states with exotic functiona…
Nanoscale Ultrafast Lattice Modulation with Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser
Haoyuan Li, Nan Wang, Leon Zhang +24
Understanding and controlling microscopic dynamics across spatial and temporal scales has driven major progress in science and technology over the past several decades. While ultra…
