Dynamical control of structural orderCoherent excitation of lattice vibrations has emerged as a powerful approach to dynamicallycontrol functional material properties. In this talk, I will present our recent work on using nonlinearphononics—a mechanism that enables the selective displacement of specific lattice vibrations—tomanipulate structural functionalities with light [1,2]. In particular, I will discuss how this approachenables the ultrafast control of chirality [3] and ferroaxial order [4], offering new pathways to tailorsymmetry and drive phase transitions in solids on demand.
