Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we attempted to control the structure, especially the chirality, of materials by using light with precisely manipulated electric field waveforms in the terahertz frequency range. As a result, we detected transient circular dichroism signals of metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions due to the change of ligand tilt angle caused by photoexcitation. We successfully tuned the rotation direction, rotation frequency, and time interval of the pump-probe pulse that rotates the polarization direction at terahertz frequency. We demonstrated that the direction of the photocurrent in a semiconductor quantum well structure can be switched by the vector waveform shaping pulses. Thus, we have demonstrated a new possibility of dynamic chiral structure control by vector electric field waveform shaped pulses.
