Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles Paillard's research at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville focuses on the physics of ferroelectric materials and their interactions with light and strain. His work investigates methods for controlling material properties at ultrafast timescales, particularly the manipulation of ferroelectric polarization using laser pulses. Paillard has published on the temporal and spatial tracking of light-induced strain and polarization modulation in ferroelectric thin films, as well as the optical absorption properties of doped ferroelectrics like BaTiO3.

His research also explores the influence of spin-orbit effects on ferroelectric materials under tensile strain, specifically in PbTiO3. Paillard has investigated giant electro-optic and elasto-optic effects in materials such as NbOI2, and the behavior of superorders and acoustic modes in multiferroic superlattices like BiFeO3/LaFeO3. His work contributes to understanding how light can be utilized to control the structure and properties of advanced materials.

Paillard's scholarly output includes 112 publications, with an h-index of 21 and over 2,340 citations. He collaborates with other researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Sergey Prosandeev and Carmel Dansou, who share multiple publications with him. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
