In this paper we examine the possibility of Floquet engineering in the three candidate Kitaev materials $\mathrm{Na}_2\mathrm{IrO}_3$, $\alpha$-$\mathrm{Li}_2\mathrm{IrO}_3$ and $\alpha$-$\mathrm{RuCl}_3$. We derive an effective Floquet…
Phonons in single crystals of PrFeAsO_{1-y} are investigated using high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering and ab initio pseudopotential calculations. Extensive measurements of several samples at temperatures spanning the magnetic…
We use theory and first-principles calculations to investigate how structural changes induced by ultrafast optical excitation of infrared-active phonons change with hydrostatic pressure in LaAlO$_3$. Our calculations show that the observed…
Reconfigurable integrated chips of photonic components and networks are envisaged to play a key role in realizing highly efficient integrated photonic information processing. Electrothermally modulated optical effect (ETMOE) is a powerful…
We couple photoluminescent semiconducting 7-atom wide armchair edge graphene nanoribbons to plasmonic nanoantenna arrays and demonstrate an enhancement of the photoluminescence and Raman scattering intensity of the nanoribbons by more than…
The discovery of a superconducting phase in sulfur hydride under high pressure with a critical temperature above 200 K has provided a new impetus to the search for even higher $T_c$. Theory predicted and experiment confirmed that the phase…
The polarized Raman spectra of stoichiometric LaTiO$_3$ (T$_N = 150$ K) were measured between 6 and 300 K. In contrast to earlier report on half-metallic LaTiO$_{3.02}$, neither strong background scattering, nor Fano shape of the Raman…
We conduct first-principles theoretical studies to investigate the temperature-dependent phonon properties of orthorhombic SrZrO$_3$ (SZO) perovskite. Our calculations include the quasiharmonic approximation, in which we explored mode…
We report results of investigation of the phonon and thermal properties of the exfoliated films of layered single crystals of antiferromagnetic FePS3 and MnPS3 semiconductors. The Raman spectroscopy was conducted using three different…
We study the low-temperature heat transport of HoMnO_3 single crystals to probe the magnetic structures and their transitions induced by magnetic field. It is found that the low-T thermal conductivity (\kappa) shows very strong…
We use a combination of polarized Raman spectroscopy experiment and model magnetism-phonon coupling calculations to study the rich magneto-Raman effect in the two-dimensional (2D) magnet $\mathrm{CrI_3}$. We reveal a novel…
The Raman-active phonons in perovskite-like LaMn1-xCoxO3 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 1.0) were studied by measuring Raman spectra at temperatures of 295 and 5 K. The changes in the spectra with Co doping are correlated with the decrease of…
Recently studied hyperbolic materials host unique phonon-polariton (PP) modes. The ultra-short wavelengths of these modes, which can be much smaller than those of conventional exciton-polaritons, are of high interest for extreme…
Recent advancements in thermal conductivity modulating strategies have shown promising enhancements to the thermal management capabilities of two-dimensional materials. In this article, both iterative Boltzmann transport equation solution…
Using optical spectroscopy, we investigated the electrodynamic properties of Nb:SrTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices. In these superlattices, a large enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient (S) has been reported with decreasing Nb:SrTiO3 layer…
We present a comparative Raman scattering study of metallic rutile oxides (RuO$_2$ and IrO$_2$) and insulating rutiles (TiO$_2$ and SnO$_2$). Temperature-dependent Raman spectra reveal that the metallic compounds exhibit pronounced phonon…
Naturally existing in-plane hyperbolic polaritons and the associated optical topological transitions, which avoid the nano-structuring to achieve hyperbolicity, can outperform their counterparts in artificial metasurfaces. Such plasmon…
We investigate optical nonlinearities that are induced and enhanced due to the strong phonon resonance in hexagonal boron nitride. We predict and observe large sub-picosecond duration signals due to four-wave mixing (FWM) during resonant…
Nano-engineering crystalline materials can be used to tailor their thermal properties. By adding new nanoscale phonon scattering centers and controlling their size, one can effectively decrease the phonon mean free path and hence the…
Strong light-matter coupling gives rise to polaritons -- quasiparticles that combine both photonic and material characteristics. Here, we show that polar nanocrystals exhibit structure- and environment-dependent Raman scattering, enabled by…
