Hybrid heterostructure based phototransistors are attractive owing to their high gain induced by photogating effect. However, the absence of an in-plane built-in electric field in the single channel layer transistor results in a relatively…
We study the low-frequency properties of the bulk photovoltaic effect in topological semimetals. The bulk photovoltaic effect is a nonlinear optical effect that generates DC photocurrents under uniform irradiation, allowed by…
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…
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 develop a theory of circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) for classically high photon energies which exceed the electron scattering rate but are small compared to the average electron kinetic energy. In this frequency range one can…
We systematically investigate the nonlinear photogalvanic effect in few-layer graphene with various stacking orders, including AA- and AB-stacked bilayers, and AAA-, ABA-, and ABC-stacked trilayers. Using a tight-binding model to describe…
The bulk photovoltaic effect is a long-known but poorly understood phenomenon. Recently, however, the multiferroic bismuth ferrite has been observed to produce strong photovoltaic response to visible light, suggesting that the effect has…
Understanding the movement of charge within organic semiconducting films is crucial for applications in photo-voltaics and flexible electronics. We study the sensitivity of the electrical conductance of a silicon nanowire to changes of…
Magnetic materials show rich optical responses related to the magnetic order. These phenomena reflect the nature of their excitations, providing a powerful probe for the magnetic states and a way to control them. In recent years, such…
Shift current is a photovoltaic current in bulk noncentrosymmetric insulator. Studies on shift current have so far focused on the extended Bloch waves, such as in semiconductors and perovskites. In contrast, it is unknown whether the…
We propose a new orbital controlled model to explain the gate field induced switching of current in a semiconducting PbS-nanowire junction. A single particle scattering formalism in conjunction with a posteriori density functional approach…
We calculate the shift current response, which has been identified as the dominant mechanism for the bulk photovoltaic effect, for the polar compounds LiAsS$_\text{2}$, LiAsSe$_\text{2}$, and NaAsSe$_\text{2}$. We find that the magnitudes…
The noncollinear cycloidal magnetic order breaks the inversion symmetry in CaMn$_{7}$O$_{12}$, generating one of the largest spin-orbit driven ferroelectric polarizations measured to date. In this Letter, the microscopic origin of the…
We investigate the shift current bulk photovoltaic response of materials close to a band inversion topological phase transition. We find that the bulk photocurrent reverses direction across the band inversion transition, and that its…
The electronic and transport properties of CuInTe2 chalcopyrite are investigated using density functional calculations combined with Boltzmann theory. The band gap predicted from hybrid functional is 0.92 eV, which agrees well with…
We show that certain three-dimensional multigap topological insulators can host quantized integrated shift photoconductivities due to bulk invariants that are defined under reality conditions imposed by additional symmetries. We recast the…
The surface Fermi arc, as a hallmark of Weyl semimetals (WSMs), has been well known in current research, but it remains a challenge to unveil novel phenomena associated with the Fermi arc. Here, we predict a heretofore unrecognized process…
Diamond is emerging as an attractive third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor for future on-chip nonlinear photonics and quantum optics due to its unique thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. However, the light-driven current…
The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) generates a direct current photocurrent under uniform irradiation and is a nonlinear optical effect traditionally studied in non-centrosymmetric materials. The two main origins of BPVE are the shift and…
The capture of photoexcited deep-band hot carriers, excited by photons with energies far above the bandgap, is of significant importance for photovoltaic and photoelectronic applications since it is directly related to the quantum…
