Probing Ultrafast/Metastable PhasesNonlinear optical manipulation is a promising route to switch a material between different phases at the femtosecond timescale. It has been used to induce transient superconductivity in both cuprates and fullerene-based compounds, to...

Ferroics and MultiferroicsThe study of magnetism and ferroelectricity, where materials exhibit spontaneous and switchable polarization, has a long history in perovskite-type oxides. We establish new routes to tune the physical properties in these materials, e.g., the...

Nonlinear Optical CrystalsNonlinear optical (NLO) crystals serves the goal for generating coherent laser in the ultraviolet (UV) and deep-ultraviolet (DUV) frequency range through second-harmonic generation (SHG). Noncentrosymmetricity is the criterion for the SHG to...
