We report on the observation of the circular (helicity-dependent) and linear photogalvanic effects in Si-MOSFETs with inversion channels. The developed microscopic theory demonstrates that the circular photogalvanic effect in Si structures…
We report a comprehensive study of polarized infrared/terahertz photocurrents in bulk tellurium crystals. We observe different photocurrent contributions and show that, depending on the experimental conditions, they are caused by the…
Circular photogalvanic currents are a promising new approach for spin-optoelectronics. To date, such currents have only been induced in topological insulator flakes or extended films. It is not clear whether they can be generated in…
The effect of a lateral electric current on the photoluminescence H-band of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure is investigated. The photoluminescence intensity and optical orientation of electrons contributing to the H-band are studied by means…
We study theoretically 2D HgTe/CdTe quantum well topological insulator (TI) illuminated by circularly polarized light with frequencies higher than the difference between the equilibrium Fermi level and the bottom of the conduction band (THz…
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…
A bicircular light (BCL) consists of left and right circularly polarized lights with different frequencies, and draws a rose-like pattern with a rotational symmetry determined by the ratio of the two frequencies. Here we show that an…
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.…
The circular polarization of direct gap emission of Ge is studied in optically-excited tensile-strained Ge-on-Si heterostructures as a function of doping and temperature. Owing to the spin-dependent optical selection rules, the radiative…
Structurally chiral materials hosting multifold fermions with large topological number have attracted considerable attention because of their naturally long surface Fermi arcs and bulk quantized circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE).…

We study theoretically transverse photoconductivity induced by circularly polarized radiation, i.e. the photovoltaic Hall effect, and linearly polarized radiation causing intraband optical transitions in two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG).…
In view of a study on spin-polarized photodiodes, the helicity-dependent photocurrent in a Fe/x-AlOx/p-GaAs Schottky diode is measured at room temperature by illuminating a circularly polarized light beam (785 nm) either horizontally on the…
We report on the observation of photon helicity driven currents in graphene. The directed net electric current is generated in single layer graphene by circularly polarized terahertz laser radiation at normal as well as at oblique incidence…
Theory of the Linear photogalvanic effect is developed for direct optical transitions between surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators. The photocurrent governed by the orientation of the polarization plane of light and…
We demonstrate that tight focusing of a circularly polarized Gaussian beam in optical tweezers leads to spin-momentum locking - with the transverse spin angular momentum density being independent of helicity, while the transverse momentum…
We experimentally study the propagation of circularly polarized light in the sub-diffusion regime by exploiting enhanced backscattering (EBS, also known as coherent backscattering) of light under low spatial coherence illumination. We…
The spin Hall effect of light attracted enormous attention in the literature due to the ongoing progress in developing of new optically active materials and metamaterials with non-trivial spin-orbit interaction. Recently, it was shown that…
Under oblique incidence of circularly polarized infrared radiation the spin-galvanic effect has been unambiguously observed in (001)-grown $n$-type GaAs quantum well (QW) structures in the absence of any external magnetic field. Resonant…
Generating photogalvanic effects in centrosymmetric materials can provide new opportunities for developing passive photodetectors and energy harvesting devices. In this work, we investigate the photogalvanic effects in centrosymmetric…
