Theory ColloquiumNonequilibrium materials science with a twist
Michael Sentef (MPI for Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg)
In this colloquium, I will try to give a perspective on the field of nonequilibrium materials science from the point of view of a theoretical condensed matter physicist. I will highlight the exciting possibilities that emerge from using ultrashort (femto-to attosecond) laser pulses to induce and probe complex many-body dynamics in quantum materials. Specifically, I will discuss recent efforts due to induce and control nontrivial topological properties of materials. This includes the experimentally demonstrated light-induced anomalous Hall effect in two-dimensional Dirac fermions in graphene as well as the theoretically proposed all-optical control of chiral Majorana fermions in topological superconductors.
