Nonlinear Optics On Ferroic Materials Av Manfred Fiebig

<p><b>Covering the fruitful combination of nonlinear optics and ferroic materials!</b><p><i>Nonlinear Optics on Ferroic Materials</i> features three fields of physics: symmetry; magnetic or electric, long-range (ferroic) order; and nonlinear laser optics. The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of each of field. Next, it discusses how nonlinear optical studies help to reveal properties that are inaccessible with standard characterization techniques. A systematic discussion is also provided of the unique degrees of freedom of the nonlinear-optical probing of ferroics. The final section of the book explores material classes of primary interest in contemporary condensed-matter physics. This includes multiferroics with magnetoelectric correlations and oxide-electronic materials as well as the applications related to the optical properties of ferroic materials. The book concludes with a look toward future developments in using nonlinear optics to study ferroic materials. <ul><li>Rev

Reviews original methods and approaches to applications such as oxide-electronic devices, superconductors, and topological insulators Examines how nonlinear optics and ferroics complement each other for the elucidation of materials properties and the development of new devices Serves as a reference for experienced scientists and innovative researchers The use of nonlinear optics for the study of ferroic materials has seen rising interest in recent years, therefore Nonlinear Optics is a prime resource for researchers in this field today. Manfred Fiebig, PhD, is Professor of Multifunctional Ferroic Materials in the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He served as head, resp. deputy head of the Department from 2014-2018. His recent honors include election as APS Fellow, an ERC Advanced Investigator Grant and a three-year appointment as Guest Professor at the Japanese research institute RIKEN.
