摘要:

我们报道了室温下三维狄拉克半金属Cd 3As 2的薄膜中强太赫兹(~10^12 Hz)高次谐波的产生。三次谐波可以用桌面光源检测到,并且通过在薄膜内部施加6.5 kV/cm的基波场可以达到100 V/cm,显示出前所未有的太赫兹频率转换效率。我们的时间分辨太赫兹光谱和计算也澄清了起源于狄拉克电子在动量空间中的相干加速的非线性的微观机制。我们的研究结果为太赫兹场驱动的Dirac电子在散射影响下的非线性电流提供了清晰的见解,为基于拓扑半金属的高速电子学和光子学的新型器件铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

We report strong terahertz (~10^12 Hz) high harmonic generation in thin films of Cd3As2, a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal at room temperature. The third harmonics is detectable with tabletop light source and can be as strong as 100 V/cm by applying the fundamental field of 6.5 kV/cm inside the film, showing an unprecedented efficiency for terahertz frequency conversion. Our time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy and calculations also clarify the microscopic mechanism of the nonlinearity originating in the coherent acceleration of Dirac electrons in momentum space. Our results provide clear insights for nonlinear current of Dirac electrons driven by terahertz field under an influence of scattering, paving the way toward novel devices for high-speed electronics and photonics based on topological semimetals.
