Breaking symmetry with light: photo-induced chirality in a non-chiral crystal
Z. Zeng, M. Först, M. Fechner +7
Chirality is a pervasive form of symmetry that is intimately connected to the physical properties of solids, as well as the chemical and biological activity of molecular systems. H…
Observation of polarization density waves in SrTiO3
Gal Orenstein, Viktor Krapivin, Yijing Huang +23
The nature of the "failed" ferroelectric transition in SrTiO3 has been a long-standing puzzle in condensed matter physics. A compelling explanation is the competition between ferro…
Squeezed Josephson plasmons in driven YBaCuO
N. Taherian, M. Först, A. Liu +10
The physics of driven collective modes in quantum materials underpin a number of striking non-equilibrium functional responses, which include enhanced magnetism, ferroelectricity a…
Ultrafast Raman thermometry in driven YBaCuO
T. -H. Chou, M. Först, M. Fechner +8
Signatures of photo-induced superconductivity have been reported in cuprate materials subjected to a coherent phonon drive. A 'cold' superfluid was extracted from the transient Ter…
Quenched lattice fluctuations in optically driven SrTiO3
M. Fechner, M. Först, G. Orenstein +12
Many functionally relevant ferroic phenomena in quantum materials can be manipulated by driving the lattice coherently with optical and terahertz pulses. New physical phenomena and…
Optical Stabilization of Fluctuating High Temperature Ferromagnetism in YTiO
A. S. Disa, J. Curtis, M. Fechner +9
In quantum materials, degeneracies and frustrated interactions can have a profound impact on the emergence of long-range order, often driving strong fluctuations that suppress func…
