Terahertz field-induced giant symmetry modulations in a van der Waals antiferromagnet
Sheikh Rubaiat Ul Haque, Martin J. Cross, Sangeeta Rajpurohit +19
Strong-field terahertz (THz) excitations enable dynamic control over electronic, lattice and symmetry degrees of freedom in quantum materials. Here, we uncover pronounced terahertz…
