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…
Cavity-enhanced superconducting response in an underdoped cuprate
Angela Montanaro, Vadim Plastovets, Nitesh Khatiwada +15
Superconductors carry electrical current without resistance when paired electrons condense into a coherent macroscopic quantum state. In underdoped cuprates, evidence suggests that…
Revisiting the symmetry and optical phonons of altermagnetic -MnTe
Ece Uykur, Marcos V. Gonçalves-Faria, Sahana RöÃler +5
Using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies combined with high-resolution x-ray diffraction, we address several controversial aspects of altermagnetic -MnTe. We show that mech…
Structural and Optical Properties of Crystal Ion Sliced BaTiO Thin Films
Hossein Esfandiar, Fatemeh Abtahi, Trevor G. Vrckovnik +10
Barium titanate (BaTiO) is a compelling material for integrated photonics due to its strong electro-optic and second-order nonlinear properties. Crystal Ion Slicing (CIS) prese…
THz carrier dynamics in interface two-dimensional electron gases
Ahana Bhattacharya, Andri Darmawan, Jeong Woo Han +10
A two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) forms at the interface of complex oxides like (STO) and (LTO), despite each material having a low native conductivity,…
Extreme Terahertz Nonlinearity of AlGaN/GaN-based Grating-Gate Plasmonic Crystals
Pavlo Sai, Vadym V. Korotyeyev, Dmytro B. But +12
We present a novel approach to enhance THz nonlinearity by the resonant excitation of two-dimensional plasmons in grating-gate plasmonic crystals. Using a high-electric-field THz p…
