An effective magnetic field from optically driven phonons by Nova, T, Cartella, A, Cantaluppi, A, Först, M, Bossini, D, Mikhaylovskiy, R, Kimel, A, Merlin, R, Cavalleri, A

“…This nonlinear mode mixing drives rotations as well as displacements of the crystal-field atoms, mimicking the application of a magnetic field and resulting in the excitation of spin precession in the rare-earth orthoferrite ErFeO 3.
