Abstract
We theoretically propose that the Dirac fermion in two-dimensions shows the giant nonlinear responses to electromagnetic fields in terahertz region. A scaling form is obtained for the current and magnetization as functions of the normalized electromagnetic fields and , where the characteristic electric (magnetic) field () depends on the frequency as (), and is typically of the order of 80 V/cm ( 8 mT) in the terahertz region. Applications of the present theory to graphene and surface state of a topological insulator are discussed.
