中心对称晶体中的几何光子拖曳效应和非线性位移电流

Geometric photon-drag effect and nonlinear shift current in centrosymmetric crystals

Li-kun Shi, Dong Zhang, Kai Chang, Justin C. W. Song

摘要:

非线性位移电流,也称为由线性偏振光产生的体光伏电流,长期以来一直被认为在具有反转对称性的晶体中不存在。在这里,我们认为,在中心对称晶体中的非零位移电流可以激活的光子拖曳效应。光子拖曳位移电流来自“位移电流偶极”(表征带间跃迁的几何量),并在中心对称晶体中表现出纯粹的横向响应。这种横向性质直接来自镜像操作下移位向量的伪向量性质,并强调了其内在的几何起源。通过与极化激元的耦合,可以大大增强光子拖曳位移电流,并提供了一种新的灵敏的工具来询问具有反转对称性的材料的微妙的带间相干性,以前认为这是通过光电流探针无法实现的。

英文摘要:

The nonlinear shift current, also known as the bulk photovoltaic current generated by linearly polarized light, has long been known to be absent in crystals with inversion symmetry. Here we argue that a non-zero shift current in centrosymmetric crystals can be activated by a photon-drag effect. Photon-drag shift current proceeds from a `shift current dipole' (a geometric quantity characterizing interband transitions) and manifests a purely transverse response in centrosymmetric crystals. This transverse nature proceeds directly from the shift-vector's pseudovector nature under mirror operation and underscores its intrinsic geometric origin. Photon-drag shift current can greatly enhanced by coupling to polaritons and provides a new and sensitive tool to interrogate the subtle interband coherences of materials with inversion symmetry previously thought to be inaccessible via photocurrent probes.
