Non-resonant circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation can exert torques on magnetization by the Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE). Here we discuss the enhancement of IFE by spin-orbit interactions (SOI). We illustrate the principle by…

The inverse Faraday effect (IFE) refers to the generation of a DC magnetization by circularly polarized light through the transfer of optical angular momentum to electronic degrees of freedom. In conducting systems, this response can arise…

We present a theoretical discovery of an unconventional mechanism of inverse Faraday effect (IFE) which acts selectively on topological magnetic structures. The effect, topological inverse Faraday effect (TIFE), is induced by spin Berry's…

The inverse Faraday effect (IFE) allows the generation of magnetic fields by optical excitation only. Since its discovery in the 60s, it was believed that only an elliptical or circular polarization could magnetize matter by this…

We report two light-induced orbital magnetization effects in quantum Hall (QH) fluids, stemming from their transverse response. The first is a purely transverse contribution to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), where circularly polarized…

Coherent light-matter interactions mediated by opto-magnetic phenomena like the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) are expected to provide a non-thermal pathway for ultrafast manipulation of magnetism on timescales as short as the excitation…

We theoretically study the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), i.e., photo-induced magnetization, in two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit coupled electron systems irradiated by a circularly polarized light. The quantum master…

We investigate the non-resonant all-optical switching of magnetization. We treat the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) theoretically in terms of the spin-selective optical Stark effect for linearly or circularly polarized light. In the dilute…

It is usually admitted that the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) originates from the spin angular momentum (SAM) of light. In this paper, we evidence that part of the IFE in a metal is induced by the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. On…

Recent theory of the light-induced medium magnetization (inverse Faraday effect, IFE) performed by a transversely-limited circularly-polarized light beam [Phys. Rev. B 91, 020411 (2015)] predicts the existence of a "demagnetization current"…

Inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in superconductors is proposed, where a static magnetization is generated under the influence of a circularly polarized microwave field. Classical modeling of the IFE explicitly provides superconducting gyration…

Hidden multipolar orders in spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulators provide a promising setting for correlated quantum matter, yet their control and detection remain major challenges. Here, we demonstrate that circularly polarized light enables…

We study the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in a Dirac Hamiltonian with random impurities using Keldysh formalism and diagrammatic perturbation theory. The mass term in the Dirac Hamiltonian is essential for IFE, where the spin magnetic…

We theoretically study the inverse Faraday effect, i.e., the optical induction of spin polarization with circularly polarized light, by particularly focusing on effects of band dispersions and Fermi surfaces in crystal systems with the…

Circularly polarized optical excitation of plasmonic nanostructures causes coherent circulating motion of their electrons, which in turn, gives rise to strong optically induced magnetization - a phenomenon known as the inverse Faraday…

The inverse Faraday effect, the ability of light to act as a source of magnetism, is a cornerstone of modern ultrafast optics. Harnessing this effect at the nanoscale promises to transform data storage and spintronics, yet its predictive…

Graphene can be magnetized through nonlinear response of its orbital angular momentum to an intense circularly polarized light. This optomagnetic effect can be well exemplified by the Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE) where an…

Understanding the coherent interplay of light with the magnetization in metals has been a long-standing problem in ultrafast magnetism. While it is known that when laser light acts on a metal it can induce magnetization via the process…

Using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the spin contributions to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in transition metals. The IFE depends on the d-electron filling and asymmetry between excited electron and hole…

The magnitude of the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), a static magnetization due to an ac electric field, can be strongly increased in a mesoscopic sample, sensitive to time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking. Random rectification of ac voltages…
