1 Photo-Hall, Photorefractive and Photomagnetoelectric Effects In
Photo-Hall, photorefractive and photomagnetoelectric effects in tungsten bronzes and related tetragonal ferroelectrics I. Tekaya1, A. Tekaya1, B. Maximin2 1 Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, 33 rue Saint-Leu, 80039 Amiens Cedex, France 2 Physique des Systèmes Complexes, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, 33 rue Saint-Leu, 80039 Amiens Cedex, France We present an extensive study of the electric, magnetic and elastic responses of tetragonal ferroelectrics under illumination, using a new theory intertwining material and wave symmetries. Optical rectification, photomagnetic, photovoltaic and phototoroidal vector responses are worked out as functions of the wave vector and wave polarization directions. Second-order response tensors associated with photoelastic, photomagnetoelectric, photorefractive effects and photoconductivity are described. We discuss in detail the photo-Hall and a new non-linear optical effect in tungsten bronzes. Finally, we compare the properties of tetragonal materials with those of hexagonal, orthorhombic and trigonal ferroelectrics previously reported in the literature. I.

Ultrafast Optical Manipulation of Magnetic Order
REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS, VOLUME 82, JULY–SEPTEMBER 2010 Ultrafast optical manipulation of magnetic order Andrei Kirilyuk,* Alexey V. Kimel, and Theo Rasing Radboud University Nijmegen, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Heyendaalseweg 135, 6525 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands ͑Published 22 September 2010͒ The interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has developed into a fascinating research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of subpicosecond demagnetization over a decade ago to the recent demonstration of magnetization reversal by a single 40 fs laser pulse, the manipulation of magnetic order by ultrashort laser pulses has become a fundamentally challenging topic with a potentially high impact for future spintronics, data storage and manipulation, and quantum computation. Understanding the underlying mechanisms implies understanding the interaction of photons with charges, spins, and lattice, and the angular momentum transfer between them. This paper will review the progress in this field of laser manipulation of magnetic order in a systematic way. Starting with a historical introduction, the interaction of light with magnetically ordered matter is discussed. By investigating metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics, the roles of ͑nearly͒ free electrons, charge redistributions, and spin-orbit and spin-lattice interactions can partly be separated, and effects due to heating can be distinguished from those that are not. It will be shown that there is a fundamental distinction between processes that involve the actual absorption of photons and those that do not. It turns out that for the latter, the polarization of light plays an essential role in the manipulation of the magnetic moments at the femtosecond time scale.
