Band-resolved imaging and nonlinear optical control of currents in topological materials
Topological materials have captured the imagination of scientists with unique electronic dispersions and surface states. While their potential seems huge - from advanced photodetectors to spintronic devices - so far it has not come to fruition, despite two decades of research. In this proposal, my aim is to reveal and control light-matter interactions, electron populations, and currents in topological bands by combining two fields of research: topological materials and nonlinear optical coherent control. Nonlinear quantum coherent control was a major leap in ultrafast science, enabling optical control of chemical reactions and electronic processes in atoms and molecules on femtosecond time…
