--- _id: '14886' abstract: - lang: eng text: It is a basic principle that an effect cannot come before the cause. Dispersive relations that follow from this fundamental fact have proven to be an indispensable tool in physics and engineering. They are most powerful in the domain of linear response where they are known as Kramers-Kronig relations. However, when it comes to nonlinear phenomena the implications of causality are much less explored, apart from several notable exceptions. Here in this paper we demonstrate how to apply the dispersive formalism to analyze the ultrafast nonlinear response in the context of the paradigmatic nonlinear Kerr effect. We find that the requirement of causality introduces a noticeable effect even under assumption that Kerr effect is mediated by quasi-instantaneous off-resonant electronic hyperpolarizability. We confirm this by experimentally measuring the time-resolved Kerr dynamics in GaAs by means of a hybrid pump-probe Mach-Zehnder interferometer and demonstrate the presence of an intrinsic lagging between amplitude and phase responses as predicted by dispersive analysis. Our results describe a general property of the time-resolved nonlinear processes thereby highlighting the importance of accounting for dispersive effects in the nonlinear optical processes involving ultrashort pulses. acknowledgement: The work was supported by the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA).

Understanding the interplay between these two subsystems is a challenging problem, but it is this coupling that is widely conjectured to be responsible for the unique behavior of photocarriers in these materials. In this work, we use the fact that the polarizability of the organic cation strongly depends on the ambient electrostatic environment to put the molecule forward as a sensitive probe of the local crystal fields inside the lattice cell. We measure the average polarizability of the C/N–H bond stretching mode by means of infrared spectroscopy, which allows us to deduce the character of the motion of the cation molecule, find the magnitude of the local crystal field, and place an estimate on the strength of the hydrogen bond between the hydrogen and halide atoms. Our results pave the way for understanding electric fields in lead-halide perovskites using infrared bond spectroscopy. acknowledgement: "We thank Bingqing Cheng and Hong-Zhou Ye for valuable discussions; Y.W.’s work at IST Austria was supported through ISTernship summer internship program funded by OeADGmbH; D.L. and Z.A. acknowledge support by IST Austria (ISTA); M.L. acknowledges support by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant No. 801770 (ANGULON).\r\nA.A.Z. and O.M.B. acknowledge support by KAUST." article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: Yujing full_name: Wei, Yujing id: 0c5ff007-2600-11ee-b896-98bd8d663294 last_name: Wei orcid: 0000-0001-8913-9719 - first_name: Artem full_name: Volosniev, Artem id: 37D278BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Volosniev orcid: 0000-0003-0393-5525 - first_name: Dusan full_name: Lorenc, Dusan id: 40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lorenc - first_name: Ayan A. full_name: Zhumekenov, Ayan A. last_name: Zhumekenov - first_name: Osman M. full_name: Bakr, Osman M. last_name: Bakr - first_name: Mikhail full_name: Lemeshko, Mikhail id: 37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lemeshko orcid: 0000-0002-6990-7802 - first_name: Zhanybek full_name: Alpichshev, Zhanybek id: 45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alpichshev orcid: 0000-0002-7183-5203 citation: ama: Wei Y, Volosniev A, Lorenc D, et al.

To explain their origin, it is necessary to study how electromagnetic fields interact with these systems. We address this problem here by studying two classical quantities: Faraday rotation and the complex refractive index in a paradigmatic perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 in a broad wavelength range. We find that the minimal coupling of electromagnetic fields to the k⋅p Hamiltonian is insufficient to describe the observed data even on the qualitative level. To amend this, we demonstrate that there exists a relevant atomic-level coupling between electromagnetic fields and the spin degree of freedom. This spin-electric coupling allows for quantitative description of a number of previous as well as present experimental data. In particular, we use it here to show that the Faraday effect in lead halide perovskites is dominated by the Zeeman splitting of the energy levels and has a substantial beyond-Becquerel contribution. Finally, we present general symmetry-based phenomenological arguments that in the low-energy limit our effective model includes all basis coupling terms to the electromagnetic field in the linear order.' article_number: '106901' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Artem full_name: Volosniev, Artem id: 37D278BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Volosniev orcid: 0000-0003-0393-5525 - first_name: Abhishek full_name: Shiva Kumar, Abhishek id: 5e9a6931-eb97-11eb-a6c2-e96f7058d77a last_name: Shiva Kumar - first_name: Dusan full_name: Lorenc, Dusan id: 40D8A3E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lorenc - first_name: Younes full_name: Ashourishokri, Younes id: e32c111f-f6e0-11ea-865d-eb955baea334 last_name: Ashourishokri - first_name: Ayan A. full_name: Zhumekenov, Ayan A. last_name: Zhumekenov - first_name: Osman M. full_name: Bakr, Osman M. last_name: Bakr - first_name: Mikhail full_name: Lemeshko, Mikhail id: 37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lemeshko orcid: 0000-0002-6990-7802 - first_name: Zhanybek full_name: Alpichshev, Zhanybek id: 45E67A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alpichshev orcid: 0000-0002-7183-5203 citation: ama: Volosniev A, Shiva Kumar A, Lorenc D, et al.

Our approach is based on using a near-infrared probe beam which interacts with a mid-IR beam via wavelength-non-degenerate cross-phase modulation (XPM). By carefully measuring XPM-induced spectral modifications in the probe beam and comparing the experimental data with simulation results, we extract the value for the non-degenerate Kerr index. Finally, in order to obtain the value of degenerate mid-IR Kerr index, we use the well-established two-band formalism of Sheik-Bahae et al., which is shown to become particularly simple in the limit of low frequencies. The proposed technique is complementary to the conventional techniques, such as z-scan, and has the advantage of not requiring any mid-infrared detectors. acknowledgement: The work was supported by IST Austria.

Here we report an observation of universal terahertz (THz) transparency determined by fine-structure constant α≈1/137 in 6.5-nm-thick HgTe layer, close to the critical thickness separating phases with topologically different electronic band structure. Using THz spectroscopy in a magnetic field we obtain direct evidence of asymmetric spin splitting of the Dirac cone. This particle-hole asymmetry facilitates optical control of edge spin currents in the quantum wells. acknowledgement: This work was supported by the Austrian Science Funds (W 1243, I 3456-N27, I 5539-N). article_number: '045302' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Uladzislau full_name: Dziom, Uladzislau id: 6A9A37C2-8C5C-11E9-AE53-F2FDE5697425 last_name: Dziom orcid: 0000-0002-1648-0999 - first_name: A. full_name: Shuvaev, A. last_name: Shuvaev - first_name: J. full_name: Gospodarič, J. last_name: Gospodarič - first_name: E.

We report a comprehensive study on gated and optically doped samples by magnetooptical spectroscopy in the THz range. The quasi-classical analysis of the cyclotron resonance allowed the mapping of the band dispersion of Dirac charge carriers in a broad range of electron and hole doping. A smooth transition through the charge neutrality point between Dirac holes and electrons was observed. An additional peak coming from a second type of holes with an almost density-independent mass of around 0.04m0 was detected in the hole-doping range and attributed to an asymmetric spin splitting of the Dirac cone. Spectroscopic evidence for disorder-induced band energy fluctuations could not be detected in present cyclotron resonance experiments. acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the Austrian Science Funds (W1243, I 3456-N27, I 5539-N).\r\nOpen Access Funding by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF)." article_number: '2492' article_processing_charge: Yes article_type: original author: - first_name: Alexey full_name: Shuvaev, Alexey last_name: Shuvaev - first_name: Uladzislau full_name: Dziom, Uladzislau id: 6A9A37C2-8C5C-11E9-AE53-F2FDE5697425 last_name: Dziom orcid: 0000-0002-1648-0999 - first_name: Jan full_name: Gospodarič, Jan last_name: Gospodarič - first_name: Elena G. full_name: Novik, Elena G. last_name: Novik - first_name: Alena A. full_name: Dobretsova, Alena A. last_name: Dobretsova - first_name: Nikolay N. full_name: Mikhailov, Nikolay N. last_name: Mikhailov - first_name: Ze Don full_name: Kvon, Ze Don last_name: Kvon - first_name: Andrei full_name: Pimenov, Andrei last_name: Pimenov citation: ama: Shuvaev A, Dziom U, Gospodarič J, et al.
