Engineering Magnetization with Photons: Nanoscale Advances in the Inverse Faraday Effect for Metallic and Plasmonic Systems

Chantal Hareau, Xingyu Yang, Maria Sanz +2

The inverse Faraday effect, the ability of light to act as a source of magnetism, is a cornerstone of modern ultrafast optics. Harnessing this effect at the nanoscale promises to t…
