The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been extended into the nonlinear regime, where the Hall voltage shows higher-order response to the applied current. Nevertheless, the microscopic mechanism of the nonlinear AHE remains unclear. Here we…
Due to the Berry curvature in momentum space, the magnon wavepacket undergoes two types of orbital motions in analogy with the electron system: the self-rotation motion and a motion along the boundary of the sample (edge current). The…
Electric current flows parallel to the outer product of an applied electric field and temperature gradient, a phenomenon we call the nonlinear chiral thermo-electric (NCTE) Hall effect. We present a general microscopic formulation of this…
We investigated the anomalous Hall conductivity induced in silicon by circularly polarized light at room temperature using near-infrared (NIR) pump-terahertz (THz) probe spectroscopy. The time-resolved detection scheme eliminates the large…
The paper develops a modified geometrical optics (GO) of smoothly inhomogeneous isotropic medium, which takes into account two topological phenomena: Berry phase and the optical Magnus effect. By using the analogy between a quasi-classical…
Berry phase is revealed for circularly polarized light when it is Bragg-reflected by a chiral liquid crystal medium of the same handedness. By using a chiral nematic layer we demonstrate that if the input plane of the layer is rotated with…
Recently developed circularly polarized X-ray light sources can probe ultrafast chiral electronic and nuclear dynamics through spatially localized resonant core transitions. We present simulations of time-resolved circular dichroism (TRCD)…
It has been suggested that materials which break spatial inversion symmetry, but not time reversal symmetry, will be optically gyrotropic and display a nonlocal Hall effect. The associated optical rotary power and the suggested possibility…
Several emergent phenomena and phases in solids arise from configurations of the electronic Berry phase in momentum space that are similar to gauge field configurations in real space such as magnetic monopoles. We show that the…
We calculate the charge current generated by a temperature bias between the two ends of a tubular nanowire. We show that in the presence of a transversal magnetic field the current can change sign, i.e., electrons can either flow from the…
The circular photon drag effect is observed in a bulk semiconductor. The photocurrent caused by a transfer of both translational and angular momenta of light to charge carriers is detected in tellurium in the mid-infrared frequency range.…
Tellurium is a gyrotropic, p-type Weyl semiconductor with remarkable electronic, optical, and transport properties. It has been argued that some of these properties might stem from Weyl nodes at crossing points in the band structure, and…
We report the first experimental evidence that electromagnetic coupling between physically separated planar metal patterns located in parallel planes provides for exceptionally strong polarization rotatory power if one pattern is twisted in…
The optical effects due to the loop-current order parameter in under-doped cuprates are studied in order to understand the recent observation of unusual birefringence in electromagnetic propagation in under-doped cuprates. It is shown why…
In the presence of time reversal symmetry, a non-linear Hall effect can occur in systems without an inversion symmetry. One of the prominent candidates for detection of such Hall signals are Weyl semimetals. In this article, we investigate…
Light-matter interactions are governed by conservation laws of energy and momentum. For harmonic generation in crystalline solids, energy conservation imposes that $m$ incoming photons with energy $\hbar \omega_0$ are combined to form one…
The resonant circular photogalvanic effect is observed in wurtzite (0001)-oriented GaN low-dimensional structures excited by infrared radiation. The current is induced by angular momentum transfer of photons to the photoexcited electrons at…
The Berry curvature, resembling the magnetic field in reciprocal space, offers a captivating avenue for exploring unique electromagnetic phenomena devoid of real-space analogs. Here, we investigate the emergent electromagnetic induction by…
We consider effects of spatial dispersion in noncentrosymmetric time-reversal invariant Weyl metals in the presence of a static magnetic field. In particular, we study currents that are linear in both the spatial derivatives of an applied…
We report on the observation of photogalvanic effects induced by terahertz radiation in type-II GaSb/InAs quantum wells with inverted band order. Photocurrents are excited at oblique incidence of radiation and consists of several…
