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…
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…
Optical impact on the spin system in a magnetically ordered medium provides a unique possibility for local manipulation of magnetization at subpicosecond time scales that is very promising for magnetic data processing and other magnonics…
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…
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…
Optical Faraday rotation is one of the most direct and practically important manifestations of magnetically broken time-reversal symmetry. The rotation angle is proportional to the distance traveled by the light, and up to now sizeable…
The Faraday effect, caused by a magnetic-field-induced change in the optical properties, takes place in a vast variety of systems from a single atomic layer of graphenes to huge galaxies. Currently, it plays a pivot role in many…
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…
The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a different phase delay between the right and left handed…
The magneto-optical Faraday effect in the magnetoplasmonic nanostructures with nonuniform, periodically modulated spatial distribution of the magnetization is considered. It is shown that in such nanostructures the Faraday effect can…
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 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…
The inverse Faraday effect is a magneto-optical process allowing the magnetization of matter by an optical excitation carrying a non-zero spin or orbital moment of light. This phenomenon was considered until now as symmetric; right or left…
Chiral photon interactions with two-dimensional (2D) materials enable unprecedented control of quantum phenomena. In this paper, we report anomalous inverse Faraday effects (IFE) in graphene quantum dots (GQDs) under linearly polarized…
The phenomena of magneto-optical polarization rotation and circular magnetic dichroism are well known in the Faraday configuration. We present another effect, an odd magneto-optical linear dichroism, arising in nanostructures with…
Asymmetric magnetization reversal is an unusual phenomenon in antiferromagnet / ferromagnet (AF/FM) exchange biased bilayers. We investigated this phenomenon in a simple model system experimentally and by simulation assuming inhomogeneously…
The inverse Faraday effect (IFE), where a static magnetization is induced by circularly polarized light, offers a promising route to ultrafast control of spin states. Here we study the IFE in Mott insulators using the Floquet theory. We…
We report the observation of the magnetic field induced circular differential deflection of light at the interface of a Faraday medium. The difference in the angles of refraction or reflection between the two circular polarization…
The observation of anomalously large polarization rotations in pump-probe experiments with circularly polarized light has recently challenged the conventional understanding of the inverse Faraday effect. The striking magnitude of these…
We propose a mechanism to generate a static magnetization via {\em axial magnetoelectric effect} (AMEE). Magnetization ${\bf M} \sim {\bf E}_5(\omega)\times {\bf E}_5^{*}(\omega)$ appears as a result of the transfer of the angular momentum…
