Photovoltaic Hall effect in graphene

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-13 v3

Abstract

Response of electronic systems in intense lights (AC electric fields) to DC source-drain fields is formulated with the Floquet method. We have then applied the formalism to graphene, for which we show that a non-linear effect of a circularly polarized light can open a gap in the Dirac cone, which leads to a photo-induced dc Hall current. This is numerically confirmed for a graphene ribbon attached to electrodes with the Keldysh Green's function.
