Photovoltaic Berry curvature in the honeycomb lattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photovoltaic Hall effect — the Hall effect induced by intense, circularly-polarized light in the absence of static magnetic fields — has been proposed in Phys. Rev. B 79, 081406R (2009) for graphene where a massless Dirac dispersion is realized. The photovoltaic Berry curvature (a nonequilibrium extension of the standard Berry curvature) is the key quantity to understand this effect, which appears in the Kubo formula extended to Hall transport in the presence of strong AC field backgrounds. Here we elaborate the properties of the photovoltaic curvature such as the frequency and field strength dependence in the honeycomb lattice.

متن کاملMagnon Spin Nernst Effect in Antiferromagnets.
We predict that a temperature gradient can induce a magnon-mediated spin Hall response in an antiferromagnet with nontrivial magnon Berry curvature. We develop a linear response theory which gives a general condition for a Hall current to be well defined, even when the thermal Hall response is forbidden by symmetry. We apply our theory to a honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet and discuss a role o...
متن کاملBerry Curvature in Graphene: a New Approach
In the present paper we have directly computed the Berry curvature terms relevant for Graphene in the presence of an inhomogeneous lattice distortion. We have employed the generalized Foldy Wouthuysen framework, developed by some of us [4, 5]. Our general expressions for Berry curvature, for the special case of homogeneous distortion, reduce to the previously obtained results [13]. We propose s...
متن کاملTight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...
