In ABO3-type perovskite oxides with Pnma symmetry, rotation (QR+, a 0 a 0 c+) and tilt (QT,
a–a–c0) of BO6 octahedra are the two primary order parameters. These order parameters …

Ultrafast demagnetization can be induced either coherently by direct interaction with the
optical light field or indirectly via excitation of the electron system, which subsequently …

We demonstrate the coherent optical control of magnetization precession in a thin Ni film by
a second excitation pulse, which amplifies or attenuates the precession induced by a first …
