Abstract

The injection and shift currents are generalized to the \ell th-order injection and shift currents for the longitudinal conductivities in the two-band model, where \ell is the power of the applied electric field. In addition, the formulas for the higher-order injection current are expressed in terms of the quantum metric and the higher-order shift current in terms of the higher-order quantum connection. Then, they are applied to pp-wave magnets. It is shown that the injection and shift currents are zero. On the other hand, the \ell th-order injection and shift currents with odd \ell are nonzero when the direction of the N\'{e}el vector of the pp-wave magnet points to an in-plane direction.
