Finite-q photon-drag shift current in two-dimensional massive chiral Dirac fermions
Abstract
We investigate the photon-drag shift current in an isotropic single-valley two-dimensional massive chiral Dirac model with chirality index by directly evaluating the full finite- non-vertical response beyond the perturbative small- regime. Our central result is that chirality qualitatively reorganizes the sign topology of the finite- photocurrent . For , the photocurrent remains broadly positive, whereas higher-chirality sectors () generically develop internal zero-current contours and sign reversals within the kinematically allowed region. We further show that the photocurrent is symmetry-constrained to be purely transverse, , and vanishes in the strictly vertical-transition limit in centrosymmetric systems. Pauli blocking further shapes the response by selecting the active portion of the resonance contour, while its extinction at large or follows from a simple kinematic cutoff. These results establish the isotropic massive chiral Dirac problem as a symmetry-controlled benchmark for chirality-dependent finite- shift currents.
