Title
Photo-Induced Superconductivity and other Stories
Abstract
Electromagnetic radiation at TeraHertz frequencies is used to control emergent properties of solids. As an example, electronic coherence in superconductors can be dynamically stabilized at temperatures above Tc. X-ray Free Electron Lasers are integral to this work, to sample the microscopic parameters of solids transiently.
