Inverse Faraday Effect for Superconducting Condensates

Inverse Faraday effect in plasmonic heterostructures

The phenomenon of the surface plasmon assisted electromagnetic field concentration in the vicinity of the metal/dielectric interface of a periodically perforated with subwavelength holes arrays plasmonic structure is considered. An increase of the local stationary magnetic field appearing due to the inverse Faraday effect while the heterostructure is illuminated by circularly polarized light is...

Faraday patterns in bose-Einstein condensates.

Temporal periodic modulation of the interatomic s-wave scattering length in Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to excite subharmonic patterns in the atom density through a parametric resonance. The dominant wavelength of the spatial structures is primarily selected by the excitation frequency but also affected by the depth of the spatial modulation via a nonlinear resonance. These phenomena rep...

Investigation of the femtosecond inverse Faraday effect using paramagnetic Dy3Al5O12

Magnetization dynamics in dysprosium orthoferrites via the inverse Faraday effect

The ultrafast nonthermal control of magnetization has recently become feasible in canted antiferromagnets through photomagnetic instantaneous pulses A. V. Kimel et al., Nature 435, 655 2005 . In this experiment, circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses set up a strong magnetic field along the wave vector of the radiation through the inverse Faraday effect, thereby exciting nonthermally the...
