Dynamically suppressed lattice rotations in SrTiO as a basis for photo-induced ferroelectricity
Huaiyu Hugo Wang, Michael Fechner, Giovanni De Vecchi +22
Photo-induced ferroelectricity in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO involves the dynamical interplay between a coherently driven Ti-O stretching vibration and multiple structural…

Dynamical Scaling Reveals Topological Defects and Anomalous Evolution of a Photoinduced Phase Transition
Gal Orenstein, Ryan A. Duncan, Gilberto A. de la Pena Munoz +13
Nonequilibrium states of quantum materials can exhibit exotic properties and enable unprecedented functionality and applications. These transient states are inherently inhomogeneou…

Observation of polarization density waves in SrTiO3
Gal Orenstein, Viktor Krapivin, Yijing Huang +23
The nature of the "failed" ferroelectric transition in SrTiO3 has been a long-standing puzzle in condensed matter physics. A compelling explanation is the competition between ferro…
