该研究将Van Roosbroeck方程拓展应用于拓扑材料领域,理论分析了量子化磁场下Weyl半金属对超快局域光脉冲的体响应,预测了源于手征反常的太赫兹频段瞬态振荡光电压,验证了该方程可揭示能带拓扑与载流子动力学的关联。

摘要:

Van Roosbroeck方程是确定电子在时变和空变微扰下动力学行为的通用工具,虽在普通半导体中被广泛应用,但其用于拓扑材料器件建模的潜力尚未被挖掘。本文对Van Roosbroeck方程进行调整,从理论上研究存在量子化磁场时,Weyl半金属的体相对超快空间局域光脉冲的响应。我们预测了一种源于手征反常的瞬态振荡光电压,其振荡频率处于等离子体频率(太赫兹范围),并会因谷间散射和介电弛豫而衰减。研究结果表明,Van Roosbroeck方程能够揭示微电子器件中电子能带拓扑与快速载流子动力学之间的相互作用。

英文摘要:

Van Roosbroeck's equations constitute a versatile tool to determine the dynamics of electrons under time- and space-dependent perturbations. Extensively utilized in ordinary semiconductors, their potential to model devices made from topological materials remains untapped. Here, we adapt van Roosbroeck's equations to theoretically study the bulk response of a Weyl semimetal to an ultrafast and spatially localized light pulse in the presence of a quantizing magnetic field. We predict a transient oscillatory photovoltage that originates from the chiral anomaly. The oscillations take place at the plasma frequency (THz range) and are damped by intervalley scattering and dielectric relaxation. Our results illustrate the ability of van Roosbroeck's equations to unveil the interplay between electronic band topology and fast carrier dynamics in microelectronic devices.
