We develop a theory of optical transitions in Coulomb impurity-doped two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers and study the transitions from the spin-resolved valence band to the (Coulomb) donor and acceptor impurities…
We propose a scheme to trap and filter electrons, valley dependently, on a scale beyond the diffraction limit, in a gapped Dirac system using a circularly polarized light beam and a microscale metallic resonator. The main mechanism allowing…
Two-dimensional semimetals with tilted Dirac cones in the electronic band structure are shown to exhibit spatial separation of carriers belonging to different valleys under illumination. In stark contrast to gapped Dirac materials this…
Two-dimensional Dirac semimetals have attracted much attention because of their linear energy dispersion and non-trivial Berry phase. Graphene-like 2D Dirac materials are gapless only within certain approximations, e.g., if spin-orbit…
Structured optical fields can be used for the injection and control of charge and spin-valley currents. Here, we present a systematical study of these phenomena for interband absorption of structured light in 2D Dirac materials. We derive…
The interband optical absorption of linearly polarised light by two-dimensional (2D) semimetals hosting tilted and anisotropic Dirac cones in the bandstructure is analysed theoretically. Super-critically tilted (type-II) Dirac cones are…
Motivated by recent experiments in weakly hybridized small-angle twisted bilayer graphene, we investigate how valley imbalance affects the viscosity of two-dimensional Dirac fluids. We show that shifting the two low-energy Dirac cones…
We demonstrate theoretically that the interaction of electrons in gapped Dirac materials (gapped graphene and transition-metal dichalchogenide monolayers) with a strong off-resonant electromagnetic field (dressing field) substantially…
We study the optical properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers under the influence of strong out-of-plane magnetic fields, using the effective massive Dirac model. We pay attention to the role of spin-orbit…
Optical selection rule fundamentally determines the optical transition between energy states in a variety of physical systems from hydrogen atoms to bulk crystals such as GaAs. It is important for optoelectronic applications such as lasers,…
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have recently become a playground for spin- and valleytronics research. Their low energy spectrum can be described by Dirac cones on the corners of Brillouin zone, but the physical properties are…
We present a theoretical study on the Landau levels (LLs) and magneto-optical absorption of a two-dimensional semi-Dirac electron system under a perpendicular magnetic field. Based on an effective k.p Hamiltonian, we find that the LLs are…
We study low-frequency linearly-polarized laser-dressing in materials with valley (graphene and hexagonal-Boron-Nitride), and topological (Dirac- and Weyl-semimetals), properties. In Dirac-like linearly-dispersing bands, the laser…
We study transport across p-n junctions of gapped two-dimensional semi-Dirac materials: nodal semimetals whose energy bands disperse quadratically and linearly along distinct crystal axes. The resulting electronic properties --- relevant to…
Gapped 2D Dirac materials, in which inversion symmetry is broken by a gap-opening perturbation, feature a unique valley transport regime. The system ground state hosts dissipationless persistent valley currents existing even when…
Freestanding photonic crystals can be used to trap both light and mechanical vibrations. These "optomechanical crystal" structures have already been experimentally demonstrated to yield strong coupling between a photon mode and a phonon…
Valley degrees of freedom offer a potential resource for quantum information processing if they can be effectively controlled. We discuss an optical approach to this problem in which intense light breaks electronic symmetries of a…
Many systems are topologically trivial in the bulk, but still have non-trivial wavefunctions locally in the Brillouin zone. For example, in a small-gap Dirac material the Berry curvature is strongly peaked, but cancels over the full…
We suggest the tried approach of impurity band engineering to produce flat bands and additional nodes in Dirac materials. We show that surface impurities give rise to nearly flat impurity bands close to the Dirac point. The hybridization of…
We investigate a valleytronic device based on graphene with charge separation at different sublattices and correspondingly at nonequivalent valleys. We characterize the maximality condition of valley polarization and investigate the…
