非磁性绝缘体中的本征自旋光电流效应

Intrinsic Spin Photogalvanic Effect in Nonmagnetic Insulator

Ruixiang Fei, Xiaobo Lu, Li Yang

摘要:

我们发现,在自旋轨道耦合的帮助下,非线性光-物质相互作用可以有效地与自旋和谷自由度耦合。这表明自旋光电流效应可以在非中心对称的异质结绝缘体中产生长期追求的本征纯自旋电流(PSC)。与自旋和谷霍尔效应不同,这种光驱动的自旋电流具有普适性,并且不需要外加偏置场即可产生。使用第一性原理模拟,我们研究单层过渡金属二硫属化物(TMDs),以证明这种效果,并确认增强PSC下的线性偏振光激发。PSC的振幅比在单层TMD中观察到的电荷电流的振幅大一个数量级。这种奇特的非线性光-自旋相互作用表明,光可以作为一种快速的方式来操纵自旋极化电流,这对未来的低耗散纳米器件至关重要。

英文摘要:

We show that with the help of spin-orbit coupling, nonlinear light-matter interactions can efficiently couple with spin and valley degrees of freedom. This revealed spin photogalvanic effect can generate the long-time pursued intrinsic pure spin current (PSC) in non-centrosymmetric nonmagnetic insulators. Different from the spin and valley Hall effect, such a photo-driven spin current is universal and can be generated without external bias field. Using first-principles simulation, we study monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to demonstrate this effect and confirm an enhanced PSC under linearly polarized photoexcitation. The amplitude of the PSC is one order larger than that of the charge current observed in monolayer TMDs. This exotic nonlinear light-spin interaction indicates that light can be utilized as a rapid fashion to manipulate the spin-polarized current, which is crucial for future low-dissipation nanodevices.
