Attosecond All-Optical Retrieval of Valley Polarization via Circular Dichroism in Transient Absorption

Wenqing Li, Xiaosong Zhu, Pengfei Lan +5

We propose a scheme for retrieving the ultrafast valley polarization (VP) dynamics in two-dimensional hexagonal materials via attosecond circular dichroism (CD) transient absorptio…
