Here, we report first principles calculations and analysis of laser-induced photocurrents at the surface of a prototype Rashba system. By referring to Keldysh non-equilibrium formalism combined with the Wannier interpolation scheme we…
Orbital current has emerged over the past years as one of the key novel concepts in magnetotransport. Here, we demonstrate that laser pulses can be used to generate large and robust non-relativistic orbital currents in systems where the…
Femtosecond laser excitation of FeRh/Pt bilayers launches an ultrafast pulse of electric photocurrent in the Pt-layer and thus results in emission of electromagnetic radiation in the THz spectral range. Analysis of the THz emission as a…
We propose a photoexcitation scheme for pure spin current generation in graphene subject to a Rashba spinorbit coupling. Although excitation using circularly-polarized light does not result in optical orientation of spins in graphene unless…
