The short timescale spin dynamics in antiferromagnets is an attractive feature from the standpoint of ultrafast spintronics. Yet generating highly polarized spin currents at room temperature remains a fundamental challenge for…
Spin photogalvanic effect (SPGE) is an efficient method to generate a spin current by photoexcitation in a contactless and ultra-fast way. In two-dimensional (2D) collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials that preserve the combined…
We have found that surface superstructures made of "monolayer alloys" of Tl and Pb on Si(111), having giant Rashba effect, produce non-reciprocal spin-polarized photocurrent via circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) by obliquely shining…
The circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) has been observed in (100)-oriented $p$-GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells at normal incidence of far-infrared radiation. It is shown that monopolar optical spin orientation of free carriers causes an…
Photogalvanic effect (PGE) occurring in noncentrosymmetric materials enables the generation of the open-circuit voltage that is much larger than the bandgap, making it rather attractive in solar cells. However, the magnitude of the PGE…

Second-order nonlinear optical responses, including photogalvanic effect (PGE) and second harmonic generation (SHG), are important physical phenomena in nonlinear optics. The PGE (SHG) related to linearly and circularly polarized light are…
The circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) is the part of a photocurrent that switches depending on the sense of circular polarization of the incident light. It has been consistently observed in systems without inversion symmetry and depends…
We have studied the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in Cu/Bi bilayers. When a circularly polarized light in the visible range is irradiated to the bilayer from an oblique incidence, we find a photocurrent that depends on the helicity…
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…
A detailed study of the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in SiGe structures is presented. It is shown that the CPGE becomes possible due to the built-in asymmetry of quantum wells (QWs) in compositionally stepped samples and in…
We investigate the linear photogalvanic effect (LPGE) on the surface of the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 using a Green's-function and diagrammatic formalism. While the LPGE vanishes in the centrosymmetric bulk, it is symmetry-allowed on…
We show that with the help of spin-orbit coupling, nonlinear light-matter interactions can efficiently couple with spin and valley degrees of freedom. This revealed spin photogalvanic effect can generate the long-time pursued intrinsic pure…
