Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium | 'Seeing' multipolar orders in quantum materials

by Liuyan Zhao (LSA University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI USA)

Friday 31 May 2024, 14:00 → 15:30 Europe/Berlin

SemR I-III (CFEL, Bldg. 99)

Unlike ferroelectrics and ferromagnets where electric and magnetic dipoles align collinearly, multipolar orders involve noncollinear arrangement of dipoles within lattice primitive cells. Such orders are widely present in a broad class of quantum materials and are believed to play crucial roles in determining the physical properties, but are well known to be challenging to detect. We utilize nonlinear optics to probe, image, and manipulate such multipolar orders.

Coffee, tea and cake will be served at 1:45 pm.
