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…
Enhanced coherent terahertz emission from critical superconducting fluctuations in YBaCuO
D. Nicoletti, M. Rosenberg, M. Buzzi +10
Coherent terahertz (THz) emission is emerging as a powerful new tool to probe symmetry breakings in quantum materials. This method relies on second order optical nonlinearities and…
Nonperturbative Nonlinear Transport in a Floquet-Weyl Semimetal
Matthew W. Day, Kateryna Kusyak, Felix Sturm +23
Periodic laser driving, known as Floquet engineering, is a powerful tool to manipulate the properties of quantum materials. Using circularly polarized light, artificial magnetic fi…
Generation of Ultrafast Magnetic Steps for Coherent Control
G. De Vecchi, G. Jotzu, M. Buzzi +5
A long-standing challenge in ultrafast magnetism and in functional materials research in general, has been the generation of a universal, ultrafast stimulus able to switch between…
Breaking symmetry with light: photo-induced chirality in a non-chiral crystal
Z. Zeng, M. Först, M. Fechner +7
Chirality is a pervasive form of symmetry that is intimately connected to the physical properties of solids, as well as the chemical and biological activity of molecular systems. H…
Principles of 2D terahertz spectroscopy of collective excitations: the case of Josephson plasmons in layered superconductors
Alex Gómez Salvador, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Marios H. Michael +5
Two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS), a terahertz analogue of nuclear magnetic resonance, is a new technique poised to address many open questions in complex condensed mat…
Squeezed Josephson plasmons in driven YBaCuO
N. Taherian, M. Först, A. Liu +10
The physics of driven collective modes in quantum materials underpin a number of striking non-equilibrium functional responses, which include enhanced magnetism, ferroelectricity a…
Probing photo-induced granular superconductivity in KC thin films with an ultrafast on-chip voltmeter
Joseph D. Adelinia, Eryin Wang, Mariana Chavez-Cervantes +5
The physics of optically-induced superconductivity remains poorly understood, with questions that range from the underlying microscopic mechanism to the macroscopic electrical resp…
Ultrafast Raman thermometry in driven YBaCuO
T. -H. Chou, M. Först, M. Fechner +8
Signatures of photo-induced superconductivity have been reported in cuprate materials subjected to a coherent phonon drive. A 'cold' superfluid was extracted from the transient Ter…
