单层NbSe₂的HHG响应研究揭示了其偶奇谐波生成机制,通过极化控制实现潜在应用。

摘要:

高阶谐波生成(HHG)是一种强大的电子动力学探测工具,时间尺度从阿秒到飞秒,已成功用于检测固态量子材料中的电子和结构变化,包括过渡金属二硫化物(TMDs)。在TMDs中,本体NbSe₂在33 K以下表现出电荷密度波(CDW)有序,并在7.3 K以下成为超导体。因此,单层NbSe₂作为一种具有不同结构和电子性质的材料,可通过HHG进行探测。在这里,我们利用实时时间依赖密度泛函理论,在模拟激光脉冲激发下,预测了单层NbSe₂的本征2H和CDW相的HHG响应。我们发现,由于两种单层相均缺乏反演对称性,可以激发偶数谐波,且偶数谐波出现在沿单层锯齿方向极化的激发下电流响应的横向分量中,而奇数谐波则来自所有激发方向的纵向电流响应。这表明,通过调节探测场的极化可以控制偶数和奇数谐波响应,为潜在有用的光电设备应用开辟了新途径。

英文摘要:

High harmonic generation (HHG) is a powerful probe of electron dynamics on attosecond to femtosecond timescales and has been successfully used to detect electronic and structural changes in solid-state quantum materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Among TMDs, bulk NbSe2 exhibits charge density wave (CDW) order below 33 K and becomes superconducting below 7.3 K. Monolayer NbSe2 is therefore interesting as a material whose different structural and electronic properties could be probed via HHG. Here, we predict the HHG response of the pristine 2H and CDW phases of monolayer NbSe2 using real-time time-dependent density functional theory under the application of a simulated laser pulse excitation. We find that due to the lack of inversion symmetry in both monolayer phases, it is possible to excite even harmonics and that the even harmonics appear as the transverse components of the current response under excitations polarized along the zigzag direction of the monolayer, while odd harmonics arise from the longitudinal current response in all excitation directions. This suggests that the even and odd harmonic response can be controlled via the polarization of the probing field, opening an avenue for potentially useful applications in opto-electronic devices.
