Extending it into the nonlinear regime broadens its scope and can provide valuable insight into interactions among these modes. However, interpreting nonlinear spectra is challenging because resonant features in this case do not always reflect intrinsic material dynamics. Here, we study nonlinear THz-induced Kerr effect in a generic material LaAlO3. After detailed analysis of temporal oscillations of the Kerr signal, we identify an 𝐸𝑔 Raman mode at 1.1 THz excited through a two-photon process, while two additional peaks (0.86 and 0.36 THz) arise from phase matching of the near-infrared probe beam with co- and counterpropagating THz pump fields, mediated by off-resonant electronic hyperpolarizability. These results demonstrate the crucial role of kinematic effects in shaping THz-induced Kerr response and establish a framework for interpreting nonlinear spectroscopies in complex materials."}],"publication":"Physical Review Letters","month":"03","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"title":"Disentangling electronic and ionic nonlinear polarization effects in bulk THz Kerr response","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0031-9007"],"eissn":["1079-7114"]},"oa_version":"Published Version","doi":"10.1103/1c5k-9z82","date_published":"2026-03-13T00:00:00Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","day":"13","issue":"10","PlanS_conform":"1"},{"date_created":"2026-03-02T10:06:58Z","has_accepted_license":"1","publisher":"Springer Nature","volume":17,"article_processing_charge":"Yes","type":"journal_article","acknowledgement":"We are grateful to A.

Paradoxically, perovskites are also known for having very short exciton decay times. Here, we resolve this apparent contradiction by showing that key optoelectronic properties of perovskites can be explained by localized flexoelectric polarization confined to interfaces between domains of spontaneous strain. Using birefringence imaging, electrochemical staining, and zero-bias photocurrent measurements, we visualize the domain structure and directly probe the associated internal fields in nominally cubic single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide. We demonstrate that localized flexoelectric fields spatially separate electrons and holes to opposite sides of domain walls, exponentially suppressing recombination. Domain walls thus act as efficient mesoscopic transport channels for long-lived photocarriers, microscopically linking structural heterogeneity to charge transport and offering mechanistically informed design principles for perovskite solar-energy technologies.","lang":"eng"}],"corr_author":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-28T12:12:46Z","author":[{"id":"70313b46-47c2-11ec-9e88-cd79101918fe","last_name":"Rak","first_name":"Dmytro","full_name":"Rak, Dmytro"},{"id":"40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Lorenc, Dusan","first_name":"Dusan","last_name":"Lorenc"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-7597-043X","last_name":"Balazs","first_name":"Daniel","full_name":"Balazs, Daniel","id":"302BADF6-85FC-11EA-9E3B-B9493DDC885E"},{"first_name":"Ayan A.","full_name":"Zhumekenov, Ayan A.","last_name":"Zhumekenov"},{"last_name":"Bakr","first_name":"Osman M.","full_name":"Bakr, Osman M."},{"id":"45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Alpichshev","first_name":"Zhanybek","full_name":"Alpichshev, Zhanybek","orcid":"0000-0002-7183-5203"}],"file":[{"date_updated":"2026-03-02T14:27:56Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2026_NatureComm_Rak.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"21390","creator":"dernst","file_size":2570918,"checksum":"dd7a98de892d0b5abefca7e290ca0f77","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2026-03-02T14:27:56Z","success":1}],"article_type":"original","quality_controlled":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","date_published":"2026-02-16T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1038/s41467-026-68660-5","day":"16","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","status":"public","PlanS_conform":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"title":"Flexoelectric domain walls enable charge separation and transport in cubic perovskites","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2041-1723"]},"DOAJ_listed":"1"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","arxiv":1,"citation":{"ieee":"D.

Although observing this effect is still practically unachievable, its analogue generalizations have been shown to be more readily attainable. This paper demonstrates that a gapped Dirac semiconductor, methylammonium lead-bromide perovskite (MAPbBr3), exhibits analogue dynamic Schwinger effect. Tunneling ionization under deep subgap mid-infrared irradiation leads to intense photoluminescence in the visible range, in full agreement with quasi-adiabatic theory. In addition to revealing a gapped extended system suitable for studying the analogue Schwinger effect, this observation holds great potential for nonperturbative field sensing, i.e., sensing electric fields through nonperturbative light-matter interactions. First, this paper illustrates this by measuring the local deviation from the nominally cubic phase of a perovskite single crystal, which can be interpreted in terms of frozen-in fields. Next, it is shown that analogue dynamic Schwinger effect can be used for nonperturbative amplification of nonparametric upconversion process in perovskites driven simultaneously by multiple optical fields. This discovery demonstrates the potential for material response beyond perturbation theory in the tunneling regime, offering extremely sensitive light detection and amplification across an ultrabroad spectral range not accessible by conventional devices."}],"department":[{"_id":"MaIb"},{"_id":"MiLe"},{"_id":"ZhAl"}]},{"_id":"20705","OA_place":"publisher","file_date_updated":"2025-12-01T08:19:46Z","scopus_import":"1","year":"2025","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Optical tweezers are widely used as a highly sensitive tool to measure forces on micron-scale particles.

Here, we show that the Pauli term naturally appears in a known family of Dirac materials—the lead-halide perovskites, suggesting a novel playground for the study of analog QED effects. We outline measurable manifestations of the Pauli term in the phenomena pertaining to (i) relativistic corrections to bound states (ii) the Klein paradox, and (iii) spin effects in scattering. In particular, we demonstrate that (a) the binding energy of an electron in the vicinity of a positively charged defect is noticeably decreased due to the polarizability of lead ions and the appearance of a Darwin-like term, (b) strong spin-orbit coupling due to the Pauli term affects the exciton states, and (c) scattering of an electron off an energy barrier with broken mirror symmetry produces spin polarization in the outgoing current. Our study adds to the understanding of quantum phenomena in lead-halide perovskites and paves the way for tabletop simulations of analog Dirac-Pauli equations.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","scopus_import":"1","file_date_updated":"2025-04-10T06:12:49Z","_id":"19531","OA_place":"publisher","APC_amount":"3054 EUR","date_updated":"2026-05-06T13:06:08Z","author":[{"id":"5e9a6931-eb97-11eb-a6c2-e96f7058d77a","last_name":"Shiva Kumar","full_name":"Shiva Kumar, Abhishek","first_name":"Abhishek"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-4074-2570","full_name":"Maslov, Mikhail","first_name":"Mikhail","last_name":"Maslov","id":"2E65BB0E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-6990-7802","last_name":"Lemeshko","full_name":"Lemeshko, Mikhail","first_name":"Mikhail","id":"37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"id":"37D278BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-0393-5525","full_name":"Volosniev, Artem","first_name":"Artem","last_name":"Volosniev"},{"full_name":"Alpichshev, Zhanybek","first_name":"Zhanybek","last_name":"Alpichshev","orcid":"0000-0002-7183-5203","id":"45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"file":[{"file_size":592092,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"19536","creator":"dernst","success":1,"relation":"main_file","date_created":"2025-04-10T06:12:49Z","checksum":"08b1a94b362bb65482887e50020810e5","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2025-04-10T06:12:49Z","file_name":"2025_njpQuantumMaterials_Kumar.pdf"}],"article_type":"original","quality_controlled":"1","corr_author":"1"},{"intvolume":"         6","ddc":["530"],"acknowledgement":"The work was supported by the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA).

Dispersive relations that follow from this fundamental fact have proven to be an indispensable tool in physics and engineering. They are most powerful in the domain of linear response where they are known as Kramers-Kronig relations. However, when it comes to nonlinear phenomena the implications of causality are much less explored, apart from several notable exceptions. Here in this paper we demonstrate how to apply the dispersive formalism to analyze the ultrafast nonlinear response in the context of the paradigmatic nonlinear Kerr effect. We find that the requirement of causality introduces a noticeable effect even under assumption that Kerr effect is mediated by quasi-instantaneous off-resonant electronic hyperpolarizability. We confirm this by experimentally measuring the time-resolved Kerr dynamics in GaAs by means of a hybrid pump-probe Mach-Zehnder interferometer and demonstrate the presence of an intrinsic lagging between amplitude and phase responses as predicted by dispersive analysis. Our results describe a general property of the time-resolved nonlinear processes thereby highlighting the importance of accounting for dispersive effects in the nonlinear optical processes involving ultrashort pulses.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Physical Review Research","month":"01","file_date_updated":"2024-01-31T11:59:30Z","scopus_import":"1","year":"2024","OA_place":"publisher","_id":"14886","title":"Dispersive effects in ultrafast nonlinear phenomena: The case of optical Kerr effect","DOAJ_listed":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2643-1564"]},"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","day":"11","issue":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.013042","date_published":"2024-01-11T00:00:00Z"},{"intvolume":"         6","ddc":["530"],"acknowledgement":"This research was funded in whole or in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) [10.55776/I3456,10.55776/I5539].

Other researchers, however, observe different, substantially more conservative numbers. In order to resolve this disagreement, the nonlinear Kerr index of a bulk sample of lead halide perovskite was measured directly by means of an interferometer. This approach has many advantages as compared to the more standard z-scan technique. In particular, this method allows studying the induced changes to the refractive index in a time-resolved manner, thus enabling to separate the different contributions to 𝑛2. The extracted 𝑛2 values for CsPbBr3 and MAPbBr3 at 𝜆≈1µ⁢m are 𝑛2=+2.1×10−14cm2/W and 𝑛2=+6×10−15cm2/W, respectively. Hence, these values are substantially lower than what has been indicated in most of the previous reports, implying the latter one should be regarded with great care."}],"publication":"Physical Review Materials","month":"08","department":[{"_id":"ZhAl"}],"_id":"17476","scopus_import":"1","year":"2024","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2475-9953"]},"title":"No extraordinary χ(3) in lead-halide perovskites: Placing an upper bound on Kerr nonlinearity by means of time-resolved interferometry","issue":"8","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","status":"public","day":"23","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.8.085403","date_published":"2024-08-23T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"None"},{"intvolume":"       123","ddc":["530"],"acknowledgement":"The work was supported by IST Austria.

By carefully measuring XPM-induced spectral modifications in the probe beam and comparing the experimental data with simulation results, we extract the value for the non-degenerate Kerr index. Finally, in order to obtain the value of degenerate mid-IR Kerr index, we use the well-established two-band formalism of Sheik-Bahae et al., which is shown to become particularly simple in the limit of low frequencies.

To explain their origin, it is necessary to study how electromagnetic fields interact with these systems. We address this problem here by studying two classical quantities: Faraday rotation and the complex refractive index in a paradigmatic perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 in a broad wavelength range. We find that the minimal coupling of electromagnetic fields to the k⋅p Hamiltonian is insufficient to describe the observed data even on the qualitative level. To amend this, we demonstrate that there exists a relevant atomic-level coupling between electromagnetic fields and the spin degree of freedom. This spin-electric coupling allows for quantitative description of a number of previous as well as present experimental data. In particular, we use it here to show that the Faraday effect in lead halide perovskites is dominated by the Zeeman splitting of the energy levels and has a substantial beyond-Becquerel contribution. Finally, we present general symmetry-based phenomenological arguments that in the low-energy limit our effective model includes all basis coupling terms to the electromagnetic field in the linear order."}],"month":"03","publication":"Physical Review Letters","corr_author":"1","date_updated":"2025-04-23T08:53:33Z","article_type":"original","quality_controlled":"1","author":[{"id":"37D278BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Volosniev","full_name":"Volosniev, Artem","first_name":"Artem","orcid":"0000-0003-0393-5525"},{"full_name":"Shiva Kumar, Abhishek","first_name":"Abhishek","last_name":"Shiva Kumar","id":"5e9a6931-eb97-11eb-a6c2-e96f7058d77a"},{"id":"40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Lorenc","first_name":"Dusan","full_name":"Lorenc, Dusan"},{"last_name":"Ashourishokri","first_name":"Younes","full_name":"Ashourishokri, Younes","id":"e32c111f-f6e0-11ea-865d-eb955baea334"},{"last_name":"Zhumekenov","full_name":"Zhumekenov, Ayan A.","first_name":"Ayan A."},{"last_name":"Bakr","first_name":"Osman M.","full_name":"Bakr, Osman M."},{"id":"37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6990-7802","last_name":"Lemeshko","first_name":"Mikhail","full_name":"Lemeshko, Mikhail"},{"last_name":"Alpichshev","first_name":"Zhanybek","full_name":"Alpichshev, Zhanybek","orcid":"0000-0002-7183-5203","id":"45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","doi":"10.1103/physrevlett.130.106901","date_published":"2023-03-10T00:00:00Z","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","day":"10","issue":"10","title":"Spin-electric coupling in lead halide perovskites","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1079-7114"],"issn":["0031-9007"]}},{"intvolume":"       107","type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"No","volume":107,"publisher":"American Physical Society","date_created":"2023-03-14T13:13:05Z","citation":{"ista":"Volosniev A, Shiva Kumar A, Lorenc D, Ashourishokri Y, Zhumekenov A, Bakr OM, Lemeshko M, Alpichshev Z. 2023.

Understanding the interplay between these two subsystems is a challenging problem, but it is this coupling that is widely conjectured to be responsible for the unique behavior of photocarriers in these materials. In this work, we use the fact that the polarizability of the organic cation strongly depends on the ambient electrostatic environment to put the molecule forward as a sensitive probe of the local crystal fields inside the lattice cell. We measure the average polarizability of the C/N–H bond stretching mode by means of infrared spectroscopy, which allows us to deduce the character of the motion of the cation molecule, find the magnitude of the local crystal field, and place an estimate on the strength of the hydrogen bond between the hydrogen and halide atoms. Our results pave the way for understanding electric fields in lead-halide perovskites using infrared bond spectroscopy.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","month":"07","department":[{"_id":"MiLe"},{"_id":"ZhAl"}],"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1948-7185"]},"title":"Bond polarizability as a probe of local crystal fields in hybrid lead-halide perovskites","doi":"10.1021/acs.jpclett.3c01158","date_published":"2023-07-05T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Published Version","issue":"27","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","day":"05"},{"citation":{"chicago":"Dziom, Uladzislau, A.
