Deskripsi

Control of spin textures and stabilisation of chiral magnetic states is typically approached using external electrical and magnetic fields but optical manipulation offers another exciting avenue to explore. Here, the authors theoretically investigate the underlying physics of laser-driven chiral magnetism highlighting the connection between the quantum evolution of electronic states and the classical spin dynamics.
