Dr. Junjie He and Dr. Zhaobo Zhou from Ultrafast Dynamics in Quantum Materials group, have published a new paper in Physical Review B in collaboration with Prof. Sangeeta Sharma (Max Born Institute, Berlin) and Dr. John Dewhurst (Max-Planck Institute, Halle). You can read the article here

Using advanced computer simulations, the study explores how ultrafast laser pulses can be used to temporarily switch on magnetism in a new class of quantum materials known as altermagnets (Šmejkal, J Sinova, Jungwirth, 2022). Understanding and controlling magnetism with light is an important step toward developing faster and more energy-efficient electronic technologies. In addition, they have recently published another Physical Review B paper on the ultrafast optical control of g-wave altermagnets: published paper
