Light–matter interaction in 2D and topological materials provides a fascinating control knob
for inducing emergent, non-equilibrium properties and achieving new functionalities in the …

The crystal structure of a solid largely dictates its electronic, optical and mechanical
properties. Indeed, much of the exploration of quantum materials in recent years including …

Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

Many-body interactions between carriers lie at the heart of correlated physics. The ability to
tune such interactions would allow the possibility to access and control complex electronic …

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 …

Understanding microscopic processes in materials and devices that can be switched by light
requires experimental access to dynamics on nanometer length and femtosecond time …

Controlling the functional properties of quantum materials with light has emerged as a
frontier of condensed-matter physics, leading to the discovery of various light-induced …

We propose and demonstrate a novel scheme to produce ultrashort and ultrastable MeV
electron beam. In this scheme, the electron beam produced in a photocathode radio …

This work reviews the experimental studies on photo-induced cooperative phenomena
(photo-induced phase transitions, PIPT), which are related to ultrafast structural and …
