Key properties of quantum materials stem from dynamic interaction chains that connect
stable electronic quasiparticles through short-lived coherences, which are difficult to control …

Graphene has long been predicted to show exceptional nonlinear optical properties,
especially in the technologically important terahertz (THz) frequency range. Recent …

Abstract Ever since Ernest Rutherford scattered α-particles from gold foils, collision
experiments have revealed insights into atoms, nuclei and elementary particles. In solids …

During the 11 years since the first edition was published the field of quantum kinetics has
experienced a great expansion, and the methods described in the first edition are now …

Nonlinear optics is an increasingly important field for scientific and technological
applications, owing to its relevance and potential for optical and optoelectronic technologies …

An intense laser field can remove an electron from an atom or molecule and pull the electron
into a large-amplitude oscillation in which it repeatedly collides with the charged core it left …

Intense Terahertz Excitation of Semiconductors presents the first comprehensive treatment
of high-power terahertz applications to semiconductors and low-dimensional semiconductor …

Achieving efficient, high-power harmonic generation in the terahertz spectral domain has
technological applications, for example, in sixth generation (6G) communication networks …

When an electronic system is irradiated by an intense laser field, the potential “seen” by
electrons is modified, which affects significantly the bound-state energy levels, a feature that …

Abstract The dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect is exposed by exploring near-band-gap
absorption in the presence of intense THz electric fields. It bridges the gap between the dc …
