The detection of defect-induced magnetic order in single low-dimensional oxide structures is in general difficult because of the relatively small yield of magnetically ordered regions. In this work we have studied the effect of an external…
One approach to probe the still controversial superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is to apply external perturbations that break the underlying tetragonal crystalline symmetry. Chiral $p_x+ip_y$ and $d_{xz}+id_{yz}$ states respond to such…
Spatial inversion symmetry in crystal structures is closely related to the superconducting (SC) and magnetic properties of materials. Recently, several theoretical proposals that predict various interesting phenomena caused by the breaking…
We employ polarization-shaped ultrafast optical pulses to generate photocurrents which only arise if the optically induced coherent polarization is frequency modulated. This frequency modulation is obtained via detuned excitation of…
It is argued that the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor exhibits the transition into $d_{x^2-y^2} + id_{xy}$ state in the presence of magnetic impurities in certain conditions. Linear coupling between impurity magnetization and the $d_{xy}$…
Recent neutron scattering [1,2], and optical measurements [3,4] have detected evidence in underdoped cuprate superconductors for a phase transition near the pseudogap onset temperature T* to a time reversal-breaking state. The neutron…
Reading antiferromagnetic order remains a central obstacle for antiferromagnetic memory and logic because zero net magnetisation precludes conventional magnetic readout. Domain imaging typically relies on x-ray magnetic linear dichroism…
Chirality is a pervasive form of symmetry that is intimately connected to the physical properties of solids, as well as the chemical and biological activity of molecular systems. However, its control with light is challenging, because…
When the electromagnetic field is detected by stimulated emission, rather than by absorption, antinormally ordered photodetection can be realized. One of the distinct features of this photodetection scheme is its sensitivity to zero-point…
Recently, it has been shown how shift and ballistic currents in piezoelectric sillenite crystals Bi$_{12}$GeO$_{20}$ and Bi$_{12}$SiO$_{20}$ can be separated experimentally under the assumption that the shift component of the circular…
A spin current has novel linear and second-order nonlinear optical effects due to its symmetry properties. With the symmetry analysis and the eight-band microscopic calculation we have systematically investigated the interaction between a…
The MSSM with $R$-Parity violation allows flavour changing neutral currents through two mechanisms, directly through one loop diagrams, and indirectly through the generation of flavour violation in the sparticle sector. We discuss the use…
We investigate the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of mesoscopic conductors and the current generated through rectification of an alternating external bias. To leading order in applied voltages both the nonlinear and the rectified…
We report on the observation of the giant spin-polarized photocurrent in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum well (QW) of critical thickness at which a Dirac spectrum emerges. Exciting QW of 6.6 nm width by terahertz (THz) radiation and sweeping magnetic…
The polarization of conduction electron spins due to an electrical current is observed in strained nonmagnetic semiconductors using static and time-resolved Faraday rotation. The density, lifetime, and orientation rate of the…
The photon-electron interactions are generally volatile and the intricate multiphysics details of photoexcited carrier dynamics are not yet distinguished. How to nonvolatile control the physical state through all-optical means and clarify…
By an electrical-pump--optical-probe technique we show that the electric-field-induced reversal of the magnetic order parameter in multiferroic MnWO$_4$ occurs on the time scale of milliseconds and maintains a rigid coupling of the…
Chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization is a signature of spin order appearing in many photosynthetic reaction centers. Such polarization, significantly enhanced above thermal equilibrium, is known to result from the nuclear spin…
We present an electrostatic theory of the optical rectification, namely, the static photovoltage or photocurrent generation under a light illumination, in metallic particles. The hydrodynamical model for the charge carriers in the metals is…
The nature of the broken time reversal symmetry (BTRS) state in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ remains elusive, and its relation to superconductivity remains controversial. There are various universal predictions for the BTRS state when it is associated…
