The accurate description of the non-linear response of many-electron systems to strong-laser fields remains a major challenge. Methods that bypass the unfavorable exponential scaling with particle number are required to address larger…
Nonlinear terahertz (THz) spectroscopy relies on the interaction of matter with few-cycle THz pulses of electric field amplitudes up to megavolts/centimeter (MV/cm). In condensed-phase molecular systems, both resonant interactions with…
We demonstrate that halogenated methane 2D-Terahertz Terahertz Raman (2D-TTR) spectra are determined by the complicated structure of the instrument response function (IRF) along $f_1$ and by the molecular coherences along $f_2$.…
Ultrafast optical excitations trigger in materials a range of dynamics. An interesting range of dynamics is the ones that unfold within the picosecond timescale, corresponding to the THz frequency range. Within this short timescale, the…
Time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) is a well-established pump/probe method for measuring thermal conductivity and interface conductance of multilayers. Interpreting signals in a TDTR experiment requires a thermal model.In standard…

Light-matter interactions are key in providing fundamental information about materials. Even in the linear-response regime, the spectroscopic response of a material encodes in it many properties of the ground state as well as of its…
Time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) is a powerful technique for characterizing the thermal properties of layered materials. However, its effectiveness at modulation frequencies below 0.1 MHz is hindered by pulse accumulation effects,…

Coherent transition radiation (CTR) from relativistic electron beam interaction with an overdense plasma foil is investigated by making use of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Well-defined single electron beam either of uniform…
On-chip THz spectroscopy enables quantitative measurements of the optical conductivity of sub-wavelength 2D materials by tightly confining THz fields in metallic transmission line structures interfaced to the material. However, because the…
Nonlinear responses to intense terahertz (THz) fields provide unique insights into complex dynamics of contemporary material systems. However, the interpretation of the obtained data, in particular, distinguishing genuine ionic oscillations…
The lowest-frequency Raman mode of water, observed through depolarized light scattering or optical Kerr effect techniques, is routinely used to track dynamic changes in water molecules near ions or biomolecules. Yet, the microscopic origin…
We explore and describe the roles of inter-molecular vibrations employing a Brownian oscillator (BO) model with linear-linear (LL) and square-linear (SL) system-bath interactions, which we use to analyze two-dimensional (2D) THz-Raman…
Time-Domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR) characterization of FeRh throughout its first-order antiferromagnetic (AF) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition shows that the transient reflectance, $\Delta$R(t)/R, strongly depends on the magnetic order of…
2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy of liquid water, which has been presented recently (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 110, 20402 (2013)), directly probes the intermolecular degrees of freedom of the hydrogen-bond network. However, being a relatively new…
It is challenging to characterize thermal conductivity of materials with strong anisotropy. In this work, we extend the time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) method with a variable spot size approach to simultaneously measure the in-plane…
