Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles Paillard, an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, investigates the physics of ferroelectric materials, particularly their optical and strain-related properties. His research group focuses on manipulating ferroelectric polarization using ultrafast laser pulses and exploring the temporal and spatial dynamics of light-induced strain and polarization modulation in thin films. Paillard has published work on designing optical absorption in ferroelectrics through co-doping, as seen in BaTiO3, and has investigated giant electro-optic and elasto-optic effects in materials like NbOI2. His research also extends to the influence of spin-orbit effects in ferroelectric PbTiO3 under tensile strain and photoinduced control of ferroelectricity in hybrid-improper ferroelectric superlattices.

Further research by Paillard and his collaborators, including frequent collaborators Laurent Bellaiche and S. A. Prosandeev from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, examines superorders and terahertz acoustic modes in multiferroic superlattices such as BiFeO3/LaFeO3. His group utilizes computational modeling, as evidenced by their contribution to the Abinit software for predictive modeling of solids and nanomaterials. Paillard's scholarly output includes 137 publications, with approximately 2,500 citations, and an h-index of 22, designating him as a highly cited researcher.
