Nonlinear Optics on Ferroic Materials

Covering the fruitful combination of nonlinear optics and ferroic materials!

Nonlinear Optics on Ferroic Materials 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.

• 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.

「結合非線性光學和鐵電材料的豐富組合！」《非線性光學與鐵電材料》涵蓋了三個物理領域：對稱性、磁性或電性的長程（鐵電）有序性以及非線性激光光學。本書首先介紹了每個領域的基礎知識。接下來，討論了非線性光學研究如何揭示無法通過標準表徵技術獲得的性質。還系統地討論了非線性光學探測鐵電材料的獨特自由度。本書的最後一部分探討了當代凝聚態物理學中主要感興趣的材料類別。這包括具有磁電相關性的多鐵材料和氧化物電子材料，以及與鐵電材料的光學性質相關的應用。本書以非線性光學研究鐵電材料的未來發展作為結尾。

• 回顧了原始方法和應用，如氧化物電子器件、超導體和拓撲絕緣體


• 探討了非線性光學和鐵電材料如何互補，以揭示材料性質並開發新設備


• 為有經驗的科學家和創新研究人員提供參考

近年來，非線性光學在鐵電材料研究中引起了越來越多的關注，因此《非線性光學》是當今該領域研究人員的重要資源。

Manfred Fiebig received his doctorate from the University of Dortmund, Germany, in 1996. From 1997 to 1999, he was a JST Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He then headed a Junior Research Group at the University of Dortmund until his habilitation in 2001. From 2002 to 2006, he worked as a DFG Heisenberg Fellow at the Max Born Institute in Berlin. In 2006, he was appointed Professor of Experimental Solid-State Physics at the University of Bonn, Germany; a position he held until 2011. Since 2011, Manfred Fiebig has been Professor for Multifunctional Ferroic Materials in the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich where he heads a group of people uniting the cultural diversity of, at present, 15 nations. His honours include an ERC Advanced Investigator Grant, APS Fellowship, and election as corresponding member in the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz. Most recently, Manfred Fiebig was awarded with the APS Frank Isakson Prize and the Stern-Gerlach Medal of the German Physical Society, their highest distinction in Experimental Physics.
