  text: "Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is a powerful probe of low-energy excitations
    in complex materials. 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 \U0001D438\U0001D454
    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."

  text: The exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of lead-halide perovskites arises
    from unusually long photocarrier diffusion lengths and recombination lifetimes
    that persist even in defect-rich, solution-grown samples. 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.

  text: Dielectric breakdown of physical vacuum (Schwinger effect) is the textbook
    demonstration of compatibility of Relativity and Quantum theory. 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.

  text: Optical tweezers are widely used as a highly sensitive tool to measure forces
    on micron-scale particles. One such application is the measurement of the electric
    charge of a particle, which can be done with high precision in liquids, air, or
    vacuum. We experimentally investigate how the trapping laser itself can electrically
    charge such a particle, in our case a ∼1  μ⁢m SiO2 sphere in air. We model the
    charging mechanism as a two-photon process which reproduces the experimental data
    with high fidelity.

  text: In standard quantum electrodynamics (QED), the so-called non-minimal (Pauli)
    coupling is suppressed for elementary particles and has no physical implications.
    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.

  text: It is a basic principle that an effect cannot come before the cause. 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.

  text: "Lead halide perovskites have recently been reported to demonstrate an exceptionally
    high nonlinear (Kerr) refractive index n2 of up to 10−8cm2/W in CH3⁢NH3⁢PbBr3.
    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 \U0001D45B2. The extracted \U0001D45B2 values for CsPbBr3 and MAPbBr3 at \U0001D706≈1µ⁢m
    are \U0001D45B2=+2.1×10−14cm2/W and \U0001D45B2=+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."

  text: We propose a simple method to measure nonlinear Kerr refractive index in mid-infrared
    frequency range that avoids using sophisticated infrared detectors. Our approach
    is based on using a near-infrared probe beam which interacts with a mid-IR beam
    via wavelength-non-degenerate cross-phase modulation (XPM). 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. The proposed
    technique is complementary to the conventional techniques, such as z-scan, and
    has the advantage of not requiring any mid-infrared detectors.

  text: 'Lead halide perovskites enjoy a number of remarkable optoelectronic properties.
    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.'

  text: 'We use general symmetry-based arguments to construct an effective model suitable
    for studying optical properties of lead halide perovskites. To build the model,
    we identify an atomic-level interaction between electromagnetic fields and the
    spin degree of freedom that should be added to a minimally coupled k⋅p Hamiltonian.
    As a first application, we study two basic optical characteristics of the material:
    the Verdet constant and the refractive index. Beyond these linear characteristics
    of the material, the model is suitable for calculating nonlinear effects such
    as the third-order optical susceptibility. Analysis of this quantity shows that
    the geometrical properties of the spin-electric term imply isotropic optical response
    of the system, and that optical anisotropy of lead halide perovskites is a manifestation
    of hopping of charge carriers. To illustrate this, we discuss third-harmonic generation.'

  text: A rotating organic cation and a dynamically disordered soft inorganic cage
    are the hallmark features of organic-inorganic lead-halide perovskites. 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.

  text: Spin-orbit coupling in thin HgTe quantum wells results in a relativistic-like
    electron band structure, making it a versatile solid state platform to observe
    and control nontrivial electrodynamic phenomena. Here we report an observation
    of universal terahertz (THz) transparency determined by fine-structure constant
    α≈1/137 in 6.5-nm-thick HgTe layer, close to the critical thickness separating
    phases with topologically different electronic band structure. Using THz spectroscopy
    in a magnetic field we obtain direct evidence of asymmetric spin splitting of
    the Dirac cone. This particle-hole asymmetry facilitates optical control of edge
    spin currents in the quantum wells.

  text: 'The valley pseudospin in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
    has been proposed as a new way to manipulate information in various optoelectronic
    devices. This relies on a large valley polarization that remains stable over long
    time scales (hundreds of nanoseconds). However, time-resolved measurements report
    valley lifetimes of only a few picoseconds. This has been attributed to mechanisms
    such as phonon-mediated intervalley scattering and a precession of the valley
    pseudospin through electron-hole exchange. Here we use transient spin grating
    to directly measure the valley depolarization lifetime in monolayer MoSe2. We
    find a fast valley decay rate that scales linearly with the excitation density
    at different temperatures. This establishes the presence of strong exciton-exciton
    Coulomb exchange interactions enhancing the valley depolarization. Our work highlights
    the microscopic processes inhibiting the efficient use of the exciton valley pseudospin
    in monolayer TMDs. '

  text: 'Three-dimensional topological insulators are bulk insulators with Z 2 topological
    electronic order that gives rise to conducting light-like surface states. These
    surface electrons are exceptionally resistant to localization by non-magnetic
    disorder, and have been adopted as the basis for a wide range of proposals to
    achieve new quasiparticle species and device functionality. Recent studies have
    yielded a surprise by showing that in spite of resisting localization, topological
    insulator surface electrons can be reshaped by defects into distinctive resonance
    states. Here we use numerical simulations and scanning tunnelling microscopy data
    to show that these resonance states have significance well beyond the localized
    regime usually associated with impurity bands. At native densities in the model
    Bi2X3 (X=Bi, Te) compounds, defect resonance states are predicted to generate
    a new quantum basis for an emergent electron gas that supports diffusive electrical
    transport. '

  text: 'We use a three-pulse ultrafast optical spectroscopy to study the relaxation
    processes in a frustrated Mott insulator Na2IrO3. By being able to independently
    produce the out-of-equilibrium bound states (excitons) of doublons and holons
    with the first pulse and suppress the underlying antiferromagnetic order with
    the second one, we were able to elucidate the relaxation mechanism of quasiparticles
    in this system. By observing the difference in the exciton dynamics in the magnetically
    ordered and disordered phases we found that the mass of this quasiparticle is
    mostly determined by its interaction with the surrounding spins. '

  text: We used femtosecond optical pump-probe spectroscopy to study the photoinduced
    change in reflectivity of thin films of the electron-doped cuprate La2-xCexCuO4
    (LCCO) with dopings of x=0.08 (underdoped) and x=0.11 (optimally doped). Above
    Tc, we observe fluence-dependent relaxation rates that begin at a temperature
    similar to the one where transport measurements first show signatures of antiferromagnetic
    correlations. Upon suppressing superconductivity with a magnetic field, it is
    found that the fluence and temperature dependence of relaxation rates are consistent
    with bimolecular recombination of electrons and holes across a gap (2ΔAF) originating
    from antiferromagnetic correlations which comprise the pseudogap in electron-doped
    cuprates. This can be used to learn about coupling between electrons and high-energy
    (ω&gt;2ΔAF) excitations in these compounds and set limits on the time scales on
    which antiferromagnetic correlations are static.

  text: "In the underdoped copper-oxides, high-temperature superconductivity condenses
    from a\r\nnonconventional metallic ”pseudogap” phase that exhibits a variety of
    non-Fermi liquid properties.\r\nRecently, it has become clear that a charge density
    wave (CDW) phase exists within the pseudogap\r\nregime. This CDW coexists and
    competes with superconductivity (SC) below the transition temperature\r\nTc, suggesting
    that these two orders are intimately related. Here we show that the condensation
    of\r\nthe superfluid from this unconventional precursor is reflected in deviations
    from the predictions of\r\nBSC theory regarding the recombination rate of quasiparticles.
    We report a detailed investigation of\r\nthe quasiparticle (QP) recombination
    lifetime, τqp, as a function of temperature and magnetic field in\r\nunderdoped
    HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201) and YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) single crystals by ultrafast time-resolved\r\nreflectivity.
    We find that τqp(T) exhibits a local maximum in a small temperature window near
    Tc that is\r\nprominent in underdoped samples with coexisting charge order and
    vanishes with application of a small\r\nmagnetic field. We explain this unusual,
    non-BCS behavior by positing that Tc marks a transition from\r\nphase-fluctuating
    SC/CDW composite order above to a SC/CDW condensate below. Our results suggest\r\nthat
    the superfluid in underdoped cuprates is a condensate of coherently-mixed particle-particle
    and\r\nparticle-hole pairs."

  text: The coherent optical manipulation of solids is emerging as a promising way
    to engineer novel quantum states of matter. The strong time-periodic potential
    of intense laser light can be used to generate hybrid photon-electron states.
    Interaction of light with Bloch states leads to Floquet-Bloch states, which are
    essential in realizing new photo-induced quantum phases. Similarly, dressing of
    free-electron states near the surface of a solid generates Volkov states, which
    are used to study nonlinear optics in atoms and semiconductors. The interaction
    of these two dynamic states with each other remains an open experimental problem.
    Here we use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (Tr-ARPES) to
    selectively study the transition between these two states on the surface of the
    topological insulator Bi2Se3. We find that the coupling between the two strongly
    depends on the electron momentum, providing a route to enhance or inhibit it.
    Moreover, by controlling the light polarization we can negate Volkov states to
    generate pure Floquet-Bloch states. This work establishes a systematic path for
    the coherent manipulation of solids via light-matter interaction.

  text: We use ultrafast optical spectroscopy to observe binding of charged single-particle
    excitations (SE) in the magnetically frustrated Mott insulator Na2IrO3. Above
    the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature (TN) the system response is due to
    both Hubbard excitons (HE) and their constituent unpaired SE. The SE response
    becomes strongly suppressed immediately below TN. We argue that this increase
    in binding energy is due to a unique interplay between the frustrated Kitaev and
    the weak Heisenberg-type ordering term in the Hamiltonian, mediating an effective
    interaction between the spin-singlet SE. This interaction grows with distance
    causing the SE to become trapped in the HE, similar to quark confinement inside
    hadrons. This binding of charged particles, induced by magnetic ordering, is a
    result of a confinement-deconfinement transition of spin excitations. This observation
    provides evidence for spin liquid type behavior which is expected in Na2IrO3.

  text: In this Letter we present detailed study of the density of states near defects
    in Bi 2Se 3. In particular, we present data on the commonly found triangular defects
    in this system. While we do not find any measurable quasiparticle scattering interference
    effects, we do find localized resonances, which can be well fitted by theory once
    the potential is taken to be extended to properly account for the observed defects.
    The data together with the fits confirm that while the local density of states
    around the Dirac point of the electronic spectrum at the surface is significantly
    disrupted near the impurity by the creation of low-energy resonance state, the
    Dirac point is not locally destroyed. We discuss our results in terms of the expected
    protected surface state of topological insulators. © 2012 American Physical Society.
