The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) occurs in solids with broken inversion symmetry and refers to DC current generation due to uniform illumination, without the need of heterostructures or interfaces, a feature that is distinct from the…
The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) processes, such as the photogalvanic effect and second-order harmonic generation (SHG), play crucial roles in probing and controlling light-matter interactions for energy and device applications. To…
A theory of spin polarized tunneling spectroscopy based on a scattering theory is given for tunneling junctions between ferromagnets and d-wave superconductors. The spin filtering effect of an exchange field in the insulator is also…
The variation of current I with voltage V for poly(phenylene vinylene) and other polymer light-emitting diodes has been attributed to carriers tunneling into broad conduction and valence bands. In actuality the electrons and holes tunnel…
The Kekule pattern of the (anti)ferromagnetic exchange field on monolayer MoS2 can be induced by proximity to the (111) surface of BiFeO3 on both sides. The three-band tight binding model of the MoS2 layer with Kekule patterned exchange…
The bulk photovoltaic effect is an experimentally verified phenomenon by which a direct charge current is induced within a non-centrosymmetric material by light illumination. Calculations of its intrinsic contribution, the shift current,…
The absence of mirror symmetry, or chirality, is behind striking natural phenomena found in systems as diverse as DNA and crystalline solids. A remarkable example occurs when chiral semimetals with topologically protected band degeneracies…
A normally incident light of linear polarization injects a pure spin current in a strip of 2-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling. We report observation of an electric current with a butterfly-like pattern induced by such a…
We report on the spin-polarized electron injection through an Fe(100)/InAs(100) junction. The circularly polarized electroluminescence of injected electrons from epitaxially grown Fe thin film into InAs(100) in an external magnetic field is…
Optical control of helicity-dependent photocurrent in topological insulator Sb$_2$Te$_2$Se has been studied at room temperature on dominantly c-axis oriented granular polycrystalline samples grown by pulsed laser deposition technique.…
The photogalvanic effect is the generation of a second-order direct current by illumination of a non-centrosymmetric material. In this work, we develop a first-principles real-time density matrix (FPDMD) formalism enabling the calculations…
We survey the state-of-the-art knowledge of ferroelectric and ferroelastic group-IV monochalcogenide monolayers. These semiconductors feature remarkable structural and mechanical properties, such as a switchable in-plane spontaneous…
Current-induced magnetization dynamics in Co/Cu/Co trilayer nanopillars (~100nm in diameter) has been studied experimentally for large applied fields perpendicular to the layers. An abrupt and hysteretic increase in dynamic resistance is…
The phenomena of crystal size changes and structural phase transitions induced by light irradiation have garnered significant interest due to their potential for tuning and controlling a wide range of material properties through highly…
We achieve the enhancement of circular photogalvanic effect arising from the photo-injection of spins in topological insulator thin films by tuning the Fermi level ($E_{\rm F}$). A series of (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$)$_2$Te$_3$ thin films were…
In non-centrosymmetric materials, light can be rectified into two types of DC photocurrents, known as injection and shift currents, through the bulk photovoltaic effect. Recent theory has uncovered their deep relation with the two-state…
We have calculated the spin-polarization effects of a current in a two dimensional electron gas which is contacted by two ferromagnetic metals. In the purely diffusive regime, the current may indeed be spin-polarized. However, for a typical…
In order to understand why the inter- and intra-granular current densities of polycrystalline superconducting oxypnictides differ by three orders of magnitude, we have conducted combined magneto-optical and microstructural examinations of…
Charge-to-spin conversion in various material systems is the key for the fundamental understanding of spin-orbitronis as well as the development of efficient means to manipulate the magnetization. We report the direct spatial imaging of…
Monolayers of semiconducting van der Waals solids, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), acquire significant electric polarization normal to the layers when placed on a substrate or in a heterogeneous stack. This causes linear…
