摘要:

固体中的高次谐波产生(HHG)已经进入了深入研究的新阶段,设想在超短时间尺度上的能带结构映射。这在一定程度上得益于一系列新的HHG材料的发现,但到目前为止还没有发现一个重要的群体。磁性材料中的高次谐波将对未来磁存储技术的发展产生深远的影响。在这里,我们介绍和证明HHG在铁磁单层。我们发现高次谐波携带自旋信息,并且敏感地依赖于相对论自旋轨道耦合;如果将高次谐波色散到晶体动量${\bf k}$空间,则源于实跃迁的谐波可以被${\bf k}$分辨,并携带能带结构信息.几何上,HHG信号对单层的空间取向敏感。与光学对应物不同,自旋HHG虽然可能很弱,但只出现在偶数阶,这是SU(2)对称性的结果。我们的发现打开了一个未探索的前沿-磁高次谐波产生。

英文摘要:

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids has entered a new phase of intensive research, with envisioned band-structure mapping on an ultrashort time scale. This partly benefits from a flurry of new HHG materials discovered, but so far has missed an important group. HHG in magnetic materials should have profound impact on future magnetic storage technology advances. Here we introduce and demonstrate HHG in ferromagnetic monolayers. We find that HHG carries spin information and sensitively depends on the relativistic spin-orbit coupling; and if they are dispersed into the crystal momentum ${\bf k}$ space, harmonics originating from real transitions can be ${\bf k}$-resolved and carry the band structure information. Geometrically, the HHG signal is sensitive to spatial orientations of monolayers. Different from the optical counterpart, the spin HHG, though probably weak, only appears at even orders, a consequence of SU(2) symmetry. Our findings open an unexplored frontier -- magneto-high-order harmonic generation.
