Light-induced effective magnetic fields in Landau quantized graphene

Hiroki Ueda, Alexej Pashkin, Ece Uykur +6

Ultrafast magnetism triggered by circularly polarized radiation underpins ultrafast spin control, relevant to future technologies, e.g., opto-spintronics and magnonics. The dynamic…

THz-induced phonon mode mixing and collective dynamics in a polar nanolattice

Elizabeth Skoropata, Peter M. Derlet, Hiroki Ueda +13

Manipulating phonons through symmetry is a fundamental approach to alter the dynamic responses of materials. Most often new phases are sought through control of the unit-cell (e.g.…

Coherent spin waves in a maximal entropy phase

Arnau Romaguera, Eugenio Paris, Elizabeth Skoropata +24

In solids, disorder is conventionally regarded as detrimental to coherence. It typically localizes and dampens collective excitations, as exemplified by Anderson localization or th…

Electric field switching of chiral phonons

Michael Grimes, Clifford J. Allington, Hiroki Ueda +8

Lattice vibrations carrying angular momentum, known as chiral phonons, have emerged as a promising route to control and understand complex material properties, yet their determinis…

Hierarchical quasiparticle dynamics in antiferromagnets revealed by time- and momentum-resolved X-ray scattering

Arnau Romaguera, Elizabeth Skoropata, Yun Yen +18

Energy flows among coupled subsystems are essential for ultrafast dynamics and high-speed technologies. In magnetic materials, spin fluctuations -- magnons -- mediate these flows i…

A light-induced charge order mode in a metastable cuprate ladder

Hari Padma, Prakash Sharma, Sophia F. R. TenHuisen +17

We report the observation of an emergent charge order mode in the optically-excited cuprate ladder SrCuO. Near-infrared light in the ladder plane drives a symm…
