Extreme Terahertz Nonlinear Phononics by Coherence-Imprinted Control of Hybrid Order

Liang Luo, Avinash Khatri, Martin Mootz +12

Coherent control of quantum materials has progressed along two major fronts: nonlinear phononics, which reshapes lattices to induce emergent states, and Floquet engineering, which…

Extreme light confinement mediated by the transverse Kerker effect

Sergei Gladyshev, Connor Heimig, Adrià Canós Valero +7

Dielectric nanoparticles can be engineered to scatter light predominantly in the transverse direction, a phenomenon known as the transverse Kerker effect. Although complete cancela…
