We distinguish different mechanisms for population inversion in flux qubits driven by dc+ac magnetic fields. We show that for driving amplitudes such that there are Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg intereferences, it is possible to have…
Interlayer excitons in semiconducting bilayers separated by insulating hBN layers constitute a promising platform for investigation of strongly correlated bosonic phases. Here, we report an optical method for the generation and…
"Hidden" phases, generated using ultrafast laser pulses (few hundred femtoseconds), with properties distinct from thermodynamic equilibrium, are appealing for technologies because they can be long-lived, with lifetimes of hours or weeks,…
Atomically thin van der Waals magnetic materials have not only provided a fertile playground to explore basic physics in the two-dimensional (2D) limit but also created vast opportunities for novel ultrafast functional devices. Here we…
We report unidirectional charge transport in a $\mathrm{NbSe_2}$ noncentrosymmetric superconductor, which is exchange-coupled with a $\mathrm{CrPS_4}$ van der Waals layered antiferromagnetic insulator. The $\mathrm{NbSe_2/CrPS_4}$ bilayer…
We investigate anomalous strong lens systems, particularly the effects of weak lensing by structures in the line of sight, in models with long-lived electrically charged massive particles (CHAMPs). In such models, matter density…
We investigate the injection, transport and detection of magnon spins in the van der Waals antiferromagnet chromium thiophosphate (CrPS4). We electrically and thermally inject magnon spins by platinum contacts and examine the non-local…
We show scalable and complete suppression of the recently reported terahertz-pulse-induced switching between different resistance states of antiferromagnetic CuMnAs thin films by ultrafast gating. The gating functionality is achieved by an…
The coupling between electronic excitations and lattice deformation in van der Waals ferroelectrics is governed by a competition between the electron deformation potential and the inverse piezoelectric effect. While theory predicts that…
Understanding how optical excitation couples with polarization and interfacial electrostatics in van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectrics (FEs) is essential for the development of light-programmable nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.…
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an intriguing quantum-mechanical effect that is used for daily life medical diagnostics and chemical analysis alike. Numerous advancements have contributed to the success of the technique, including…
The wave nature of light sets a fundamental diffraction limit that challenges confinement and control of light in nanoscale structures with dimensions significantly smaller than the wavelength. Here, we demonstrate van der Waals MoS_2…
Using femtosecond time- and angle- resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigated the nonequilibrium dynamics of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. We studied p-type Bi2Se3, in which the metallic Dirac surface state and bulk conduction…
Massive neutron star (NS) with lifetimes of at least several seconds are expected to be the result of a sizable fraction of NS mergers. We study their formation using a large set of numerical relativity simulations. We show that they are…
Intermediate band photovoltaics hold the promise of being highly efficient and cost effective photovoltaic cells. Intermediate states in the band gap, however, are known to facilitate nonradiative recombination. Much effort has been…
Using density matrix equations of motion and a tight-binding band calculation, we predict all-optical switching between four metastable magnetic states of (III,Mn)As ferromagnets. This switching is initiated non-thermally within 100fs,…
Ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy measurement on monolayer graphene observes significant optical nonlinearities. We show that strongly photoexcited graphene monolayers with 35 fs pulses quasi-instantaneously build up a broadband,…
The interest in ferroelectric van der Waals crystals arises from the potential to realize ultrathin ferroic systems owing to the reduced surface energy of these materials and the layered structure that allows for exfoliation. Here, we…
