Lightwave-driven terahertz scanning tunnelling microscopy (THz-STM) is capable of exploring ultrafast dynamics across a wide range of materials with angstrom resolution. In contrast to scanning near-field optical microscopy, where photons…
Terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy (THz-STM) has emerged as a potent technique for probing ultrafast nanoscale dynamics with exceptional spatiotemporal precision, whereby the acquisition of THz near-field waveforms holds paramount…
Coupling phase-stable single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses to scanning tunneling microscope (STM) junctions enables spatio-temporal imaging with femtosecond temporal and \r{A}ngstrom spatial resolution. The time resolution achieved in such…
We investigate spin dynamics in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) multiferroic TbMnO3 using optical- pump, terahertz (THz)-probe spectroscopy. Photoexcitation results in a broadband THz transmission change, with an onset time of 25 ps at 6 K that…
Terahertz (THz) nonlinear optics offer powerful tools to investigate and manipulate electronic dynamics in condensed matter. Confining high-peak-power THz pulses within near field can effectively generates extremely localized…
We theoretically study the THz-induced high-order harmonic generation (HHG) and nonlinear electric transport in graphene based on the quantum master equation with the relaxation time approximation. To obtain microscopic insight into the…
The emergence of local moments in graphene zigzag edges, grain boundaries, vacancies and sp3 defects has been widely studied theoretically. However, conclusive experimental evidence is scarce. Recent progress in on-surface synthesis has…
In this review we discuss the multifaceted problem of spin transport in hydrogenated graphene from a theoretical perspective. The current experimental findings suggest that hydrogenation can either increase or decrease spin lifetimes, which…
We analyze ultrafast tunneling experiments in which electron transport through a localized orbital is induced by a single cycle THz pulse. We include both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions on the localized orbital using the…

Coherent electronic transport through a molecular device is studied using non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism. Such device is made of a carbon nanowire which is connected to ferromagnetic electrodes. The molecule itself is…
In this work we compare two fundamentally different approaches to the electronic transport in deformed graphene: a) the condensed matter approach in which current flow paths are obtained by applying the non-equilibrium Green's function…
