Chirality reveals symmetry breaking of the fundamental interaction of elementary particles. In
condensed matter, for example, the chirality of electrons governs many unconventional …

In stimulated Raman scattering, two incident optical waves induce a force oscillating at the
difference of the two light frequencies. This process has enabled important applications such …

High-harmonic spectroscopy of solids is a powerful tool, which provides access to both
electronic structure and ultrafast electronic response of solids, from their band structure and …

Conspectus Coherent control is a technique to manipulate wave functions of matter with
light. Coherent control of isolated atoms and molecules in the gas phase is well-understood …

For years bismuth (Bi) has appealed to a broad community of scientists due to its peculiar
electronic, optical, and more recently plasmonic and photocatalytic properties, which enable …

Chiral phonons have been theoretically proposed [Zhang and Niu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115,
115502 (2015) PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett. 115.115502] and experimentally …

Triggered by the recent successful observation of previously predicted phonon chirality in
the monolayer tungsten diselenide [Science 2018, 359, 579], we systematically study the …

Coherent light–matter interaction provides powerful methods for manipulating quantum
systems,,. Rabi oscillation is one such process. As it enables complete population transfer to …

The ever-increasing space exploration enterprise calls for novel and high-quality radiation-
resistant materials, among which nonlinear optical materials and devices are particularly …

We investigate the excitation of phonons in photoexcited antimony and demonstrate that the
entire electron-lattice interactions, in particular coherent and incoherent electron-phonon …
