Terahertz-field-induced polar charge order in electronic-type dielectrics

Photoinduced phase transition is a central issue in the field of non-equilibrium quantum physics. Here, the authors demonstrate that a terahertz electric-field pulse changes a Mott insulator of an organic molecular compound to a macroscopically polarized charge-order state.
