Terahertz Driven Reversible Topological Phase Transition of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

This paper shows how terahertz light can drive ultrafast topological phase transitions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The phase transition is induced by the light interaction with both electron and phonon subsystems in the material. The mechanism of such a phase transition is...
