Terahertz-field activation of polar skyrons
Huaiyu Wang, Vladimir Stoica, Cheng Dai +27
Unraveling collective modes arising from coupled degrees of freedom is crucial for understanding complex interactions in solids and developing new functionalities. Unique collectiv…
Dynamics of Nanoscale Phase Decomposition in Laser Ablation
Yanwen Sun, Chaobo Chen, Thies J. Albert +19
Femtosecond laser ablation is a process that bears both fundamental physics interest and has wide industrial applications. For decades, the lack of probes on the relevant time and…
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…
Non-equilibrium pathways to emergent polar supertextures
Vladimir A. Stoica, Tiannan Yang, Sujit Das +31
Ultrafast stimuli can stabilize metastable states of matter inaccessible by equilibrium means. Establishing the spatiotemporal link between ultrafast excitation and metastability i…
