Due to the lack of a net magnetic moment, antiferromagnets possess a unique robustness to external magnetic fields and are thus predicted to play an important role in future magnetic technologies. However, this robustness also makes them…
Non-thermal laser induced spin excitations, recently discovered in conventional oxide and metal ferromagnets, open unprecedented opportunities for research and applications of ultrafast optical manipulation of magnetic systems.…
The magnetization of a non-magnetic semiconductor by femtosecond light pulses is crucial to achieve an all-optical control of the spin dynamics in materials and to develop faster memory devices. However, the conditions for its detection are…
Ultrafast optical excitation is known to destabilize long-range order in correlated systems, yet experiments have also reported the emergence of metastable phases, in some cases with enhanced critical temperatures. The microscopic origin of…
We propose and analyze magnetic traps and lattices for electrons in semiconductors. We provide a general theoretical framework and show that thermally stable traps can be generated by magnetically driving the particle's internal spin…
Irradiating solids with ultrashort laser pulses is known to initiate femtosecond timescale magnetization dynamics. However, sub-femtosecond spin dynamics have not yet been observed or predicted. Here, we explore ultrafast light-driven spin…
Orbitally ordered states exhibit unique features which make them a promising platform for exploring the ultrafast dynamics of long-range order in solids: Their free energy typically has multiple discrete minima, and electric laser fields or…
The search for hidden orders in photoexcited lattice systems is an active research field driven by experimental reports of light-induced or light-stabilized phases. In this study, we investigate hidden electronic orders in strongly…
We demonstrate that the magnetization in magnetic semiconductors exhibits nutational motion when subjected to an external magnetic field. This behavior originates from the splitting of the conduction-electron band which induces anisotropic,…
We investigate the laser-induced dynamics of electronically driven charge-density-wave order. A comprehensive mean-field analysis of the attractive Hubbard model in the weak-coupling regime reveals ultrafast switching and ultrafast melting…
Development of ultrafast lasers and non-linear optical techniques over the last two decades provides tools to access real-time dynamics of low energy excitations in superconductors. For example, time-resolved THz spectroscopy and time- and…
The light-induced femtosecond dynamics of the sublattice magnetizations in the antiferromagnetically ordered phase of the semiconductor $\alpha$-MnTe is investigated theoretically as function of an external driving field. The…
We develop a theory of the magnetization dynamics triggered by ultrafast optical excitation of ferromagnetic semiconductors. We describe the effects of the strong carrier spin relaxation on the nonlinear optical response by using the…
The nonlinearity of magnetization precession and spin waves is a cornerstone of contemporary magnonics. We investigate nonlinear magnetization dynamics in a thin epitaxial iron film driven by femtosecond laser pulses in regimes of…
Ultrafast demagnetization of magnetic layers pumped by a femtosecond laser pulse is accompanied by a nonthermal spin-polarized current of hot electrons. These spin currents are studied here theoretically in a spin valve with noncollinear…
The polarization of conduction electron spins due to an electrical current is observed in strained nonmagnetic semiconductors using static and time-resolved Faraday rotation. The density, lifetime, and orientation rate of the…
Tuning magnetic order in magnetic semiconductors is a long sought goal. A proper concentration of acceptors can dramatically suppress local magnetic order in favor of the long one. Using Mn and an acceptor codoped LiZnAs as an example, we…
Novel nonequilibrium states of magnet induced by light attract considerable attention both in nature of physics and apply. In this work, we systematically explore the electronic and magnetic states of a double-exchange model on a triangular…
Three-dimensional magnetic ordering transitions are studied theoretically in strongly anisotropic quantum magnets. An external magnetic field can drive quasi-one-dimensional subsystems with a spin gap into a gapless regime, thus inducing…
The impulsive generation of two-magnon modes in antiferromagnets by femtosecond optical pulses, so-called femto-nanomagnons, leads to coherent longitudinal oscillations of the antiferromagnetic order parameter that cannot be described by a…
