Macroscopic Ionic Flow in a Superionic Conductor Na+ β-Alumina Driven by Single-Cycle Terahertz Pulses

Ionic motion significantly contributes to conductivity in devices such as memory, switches, and rechargeable batteries. In our work, we experimentally demonstrate that intense terahertz electric-field transients can be used to manipulate ions in a superionic conductor, namely Na+ β-alumina. The cati...
