摘要:

高次谐波产生(HHG)光谱具有显示凝聚态有序相的新特征的潜力。我们研究了飞秒激光驱动的单层NbSe 2的电子响应使用国家的最先进的计算方法,这可以指导未来的合成和光学表征。早期的研究发现了独特的签名的电荷密度波(CDW)有序相在基态的NbSe 2单层,在共存的超导性。用超短激光脉冲驱动这样的系统可以在光学控制单层NbSe 2中的各种奇异相(例如CDW)方面提供新的思路。这不仅将提供对NbSe 2中非平衡相变的基本理解,而且还将为革命性的量子信息技术(如谷电子学)开辟一条前进的道路。为此,我们采用实时含时密度泛函理论(RT-TDDFT)研究了不同光抽运强度下单层NbSe 2中的高次谐波产生。我们的计算预测不同的签名在HHG光谱中的某些谐波在单层NbSe 2的CDW秩序的存在下。最后,我们还研究了高次谐波谱对激发强度的依赖关系,定性地揭示了它的幂律行为。

英文摘要:

High harmonic generation (HHG) spectra have the potential to show novel signatures of ordered phases in condensed matter. We studied the femtosecond laser-driven electronic response of monolayer NbSe2 using state-of-the-art computational methods, which can guide future synthesis and optical characterization. Earlier studies found distinct signatures of charge density wave (CDW) ordered phases in the ground state of NbSe2 monolayers, in co-existence with superconductivity. Driving such systems with ultrashort laser pulses can shed new light on optically controlling various exotic phases (e.g. CDW) in monolayer NbSe2. This will not only provide a fundamental understanding of non-equilibrium phase-transitions in NbSe2, but also will open a path forward for revolutionizing quantum information technologies, such as valleytronics. To this end, we have studied high harmonic generation (HHG) in monolayer NbSe2 under various optical pump intensities using real-time time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT). Our calculations predict distinct signatures in HHG spectra for certain harmonics in the presence of CDW order in monolayer NbSe2. Finally, we also examined the dependence of HHG spectra on excitation intensity and qualitatively revealed its power-law behavior.
