Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Dear Colleagues,
We're inviting abstract submissions for contributed talks for the DMP Focus Session: 11.01.02 Light-induced structural control of electronic phases at the APS March Meeting 2022 (March 14-18 in Chicago, IL). You can submit your abstract until October 22 underhttps://march.aps.org/abstracts/.
We thank you for the numerous invited speaker nominations that we received in August and we have notified selected nominees in the past weeks.
Please find a description of the Focus Session below. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email. We are looking forward to seeing you at the APS March Meeting 2022 in Chicago, IL!
Sincerely,
Dominik Juraschek

11.01.02: Light-induced structural control of electronic phases (DMP)
Organizers: Dominik Juraschek (Harvard University) [email protected]; M. Fechner (Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg) [email protected]; Wanzheng Hu (Boston University) [email protected]
The electronic properties of strongly correlated materials are exceptionally sensitive to changes in their crystal structure. Small perturbations of the lattice can produce novel phases of matter emerging from the intricate interplay of competing interactions. The control of atomic geometry is hence key to understanding these materials and establishing routes to functionalize their physical states. The development of new light sources and ultrafast probes has made it possible to induce changes in the crystal structure on ultrashort timescales, which enables the control and examination of non-equilibrium phases in a wide range of materials. Examples range from driving electronic and structural phase transitions to inducing ferroic orders and superconductivity. These demonstrations illuminate the various pathways for accessing hidden electronic states and address the ultimate time scales governing the formation and dynamics of correlated phases. The focus session aims to create a platform for communicating high-impact developments in the light-induced electronic and structural dynamics of solid-state systems to a broad audience, involving theorists and experimentalists. Particular emphasis is placed on topics including ultrafast dynamics in correlated and low-dimensional materials, light-induced phase transitions, mode-selective control, and coherent and nonlinear processes.
