Exploring the Optical States for Black Phosphorus: Anisotropy and Bandgap Tuning

Abstract

The dressed states arising from the interaction between electrons and holes, and off-resonant electromagnetic radiation have been investigated for recently fabricated gapped and anisotropic black phosphorus. Our calculations were carried out for the low-energy electronic subbands near the $\Gamma$ point. States for both linear and circular polarizations of the incoming radiation have been computed. However, our principal emphasis is on linearly polarized light with arbitrary polarization since this case has not been given much attention for dressing fields imposed on anisotropic structures. We have considered various cases for one- and few-layer phosphorus, including massless Dirac fermions with tunable in-plane anisotropy. Initial Hamiltonian parameters are renormalized in a largely different way compared to those for previously reported for gapped Dirac structures and, most importantly, existing anisotropy which could be modified in every direction.
