Light offers a route to engineer new phases of matter far from equilibrium, including transient states suggestive of superconducting, charge-ordered, and excitonic ordering behavior. Yet it remains unclear how optical excitation can…
While spatial phonon coherence manifested through band folding is believed to be a key factor governing the anomalous thermal conductivity of periodic structures, we investigate phonon transport from the perspective of temporal coherence.…
We have studied the temperature dependent phonon emission rate $P$($T$) of a strongly interacting ($r_s\geq$22) dilute 2D GaAs hole system using a standard carrier heating technique. In the still poorly understood metallic state, we observe…

The electron-phonon interaction is of central importance for the electrical and thermal properties of solids, and its influence on superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, and other many-body phenomena in correlated-electron materials…
Driving materials using light with more than one frequency component is an emerging technique, enabled by advanced pulse-shaping capabilities in recent years. Here, we translate this technique to lattice vibrations, by exciting multicolor…

The search for materials with intrinsically low thermal conductivity ($\kappa_L$) is critical for energy applications, yet conventional descriptors often fail to capture the complex interplay between bonding and lattice dynamics. Here,…
Terahertz (THz) lasers provide a new research perspective for spin electronics applications due to their sub-picosecond time resolution and non-thermal ultrafast demagnetization, but the interaction between spin, charge and lattice dynamics…
