Dynamic Hall effect driven by circularly polarized light in a graphene layer.

چکیده
We report the observation of the circular ac Hall effect where the current is solely driven by the crossed ac electric and magnetic fields of circularly polarized radiation. Illuminating an unbiased monolayer sheet of graphene with circularly polarized terahertz radiation at room temperature generates--under oblique incidence--an electric current perpendicular to the plane of incidence, whose sign is reversed by switching the radiation helicity. Alike the classical dc Hall effect, the voltage is caused by crossed E and B fields which are, however rotating with the light's frequency.

In In this paper, two low profile, single fed cavity backed slot antennas providing a circularly polarized (CP) wave are introduced. One of the antennas presents a right-handed CP (RHCP) wave, while the other one offers a left handed CP (LHCP) wave. The proposed antennas consist of a square shaped Substrtae Integrated Waveguide (SIW) cavity incorporatng two couples of radiating slots to radiate...
متن کاملPhotovoltaic Berry curvature in the honeycomb lattice
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 appe...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Birefringene Effect on the Light Reflection
In the present paper, the problem of light reflection from a birefringent medium and thin film is considered. First, the analytical equations governing the propagation of a plane and harmonic electromagnetic wave in an infinite, birefringent, linear, non-dispersive, non-absorbing, and non-magnetic medium is derived from Maxwell equations. Then, using phase matching condition and boundary condit...
متن کاملCircular polarization sensitive absorbers based on graphene
It is well known that the polarization of a linearly polarized (LP) light would rotate after passing through a single layer graphene under the bias of a perpendicular magnetostatic field. Here we show that a corresponding phase shift could be expected for circularly polarized (CP) light, which can be engineered to design the circular polarization sensitive devices. We theoretically validate tha...
متن کاملAttosecond strong-field interferometry in graphene: Chirality, singularity, and Berry phase
We propose an interferometry in graphene’s reciprocal space without a magnetic field, employing strong ultrafast circularly polarized optical pulses. The reciprocal space interferograms contain information on the electronic spectra and topological properties of graphene and on the waveform and circular polarization of the excitation optical pulses. These can be measured using angle-resolved pho...
