反转对称性破缺导致的谷相关光电子学

Valley Dependent Optoelectronics from Inversion Symmetry Breaking

Wang Yao, Di Xiao, Qian Niu

摘要:

反转对称性破缺允许在不同的k空间区域中形成对比的圆二色性,其在高对称点处采取带间跃迁的光学选择规则的极端形式。在带边出现在非中心谷的材料中,这使得电子与不同圆偏振的光的谷相关相互作用成为可能,类似于半导体中的自旋相关光学活动。这一发现与先前发现的轨道磁矩和Berry曲率的谷对比布洛赫带特征(来自反演对称性破缺)完全一致[Phys. Rev. Lett. 99,236809(2007)]。揭示了带间跃迁的k分辨光振子强度、轨道磁矩和Berry曲率之间的普遍联系,为铁磁系统轨道磁化强度和内禀反常霍尔电导率的光学测量提供了依据.在石墨烯中展示了普通物理,其中反转对称性破缺导致带间跃迁的谷对比光学选择规则。我们讨论了基于石墨烯的谷光电子学应用,其中光偏振信息可以与电子信息相互转换。

英文摘要:

Inversion symmetry breaking allows contrasted circular dichroism in different k-space regions, which takes the extreme form of optical selection rules for interband transitions at high symmetry points. In materials where band-edges occur at noncentral valleys, this enables valley dependent interplay of electrons with light of different circular polarizations, in analogy to spin dependent optical activities in semiconductors. This discovery is in perfect harmony with the previous finding of valley contrasted Bloch band features of orbital magnetic moment and Berry curvatures from inversion symmetry breaking [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 236809 (2007)]. A universal connection is revealed between the k-resolved optical oscillator strength of interband transitions, the orbital magnetic moment and the Berry curvatures, which also provides a principle for optical measurement of orbital magnetization and intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity in ferromagnetic systems. The general physics is demonstrated in graphene where inversion symmetry breaking leads to valley contrasted optical selection rule for interband transitions. We discuss graphene based valley optoelectronics applications where light polarization information can be interconverted with electronic information.
