All optical ultrafast pure spin current in the altermagnet CrSO
Deepika Gill, Ruikai Wu, Peter Elliott +2
All-optical generation of pure spin current -- the flow of spin in the absence of a corresponding charge flow -- relies on a symmetry based compensation of valley charge. The 2d $d…

Valley polarization of graphene via the saddle point
Deepika Gill, Sangeeta Sharma, Peter Elliott +2
Graphene, and other members of the monolayer Xene family, represent an ideal materials platform for "valleytronics", the control of valley localized charge excitations. The absence…

Ultrafast Saddletronics
Sangeeta Sharma, Deepika Gill, John Kay Dewhurst +2
Low energy valleys in the band structure of 2d materials represent a potential route to the ultrafast writing of information in quantum matter by laser light, with excited charge a…
