Atomic-level design and ultrafast THz E-field control of the emergent ferromagnetism at oxide interfaces

Abstract

This research program lies at the intersection of condensed matter physics and materials science, specifically addressing scientific questions related to the time-dependent emergence and control of non-equilibrium electronic and magnetic states in strongly correlated oxides and their interfaces. It aims to investigate and understand the physics of material systems where the interplay between the electronic, orbital, structural, and spin degrees of freedom at the interface leads to new functional properties not observed in the constituent materials. The proposed experiments will provide valuable insights into non-equilibrium physics, helping us understand the origins of interfacial ferromagnetism and metal-insulator transitions in real-life (imperfect) material systems. These insights will have significant implications for information technology and design of new materials for Quantum Information Science.
