By combining a pair of perpendicularly polarized terahertz pulses with the right relative delay, we create a chiral terahertz driving field to excite chiral phonon-polaritons in LiNbO\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    .

The Faraday rotation signal switches direction when the input terahertz pulse is changed from left- to right-circular polarization, indicating a change in magnetization direction. In addition, we improve upon previous experiments by using a differential chopping scheme to remove signals arising from linearly polarized terahertz components that can contaminate the Faraday signal. Models show that chiral atomic motion combines with the inverse Faraday effect to induce a magnetic moment in nonmagnetic LiNbO\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    .\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.aec8970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T17:58:46Z","timestamp":1788544726000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34133\/aaas_crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ultrafast Faraday rotation probe of chiral phonon-polaritons in LiNbO\n                    <sub>3<\/sub>"],"prefix":"10.1126","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4607-402X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Megan F.","family":"Biggs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sin-hang (Enoch)","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9462-3286","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aldair","family":"Alejandro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Lutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7420-159X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Clayton D.","family":"Moss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9808-7172","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jeremy A.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"221","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/0508-3443\/1\/3\/303"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRev.143.574"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.15.190"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physleta.2023.129001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41566-020-0603-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/RevModPhys.82.2731"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevMaterials.1.014401"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevResearch.4.013129"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevMaterials.3.064405"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.adi9601"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-024-07175-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41567-025-03001-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevB.105.235204"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aar2711"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-023-06016-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevB.108.064510"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41563-023-01473-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-025-58913-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jpclett.5c00304"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.1602579"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1367-2630\/ac9010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41566-025-01651-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevResearch.2.043035"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"R.
