Quantum Nonlinear Ferroic Optical Hall Effect

Abstract

Nonlinear optical responses to external electromagnetic field, characterized by second and higher order susceptibilities, play crucial roles in nonlinear optical devices and novel optoelectronics. Herein we present a quantum nonlinear ferroic optical Hall effect (QNFOHE) in multiferroics - a Hall-like direct photocurrent originated from the second order current response to intense electromagnetic field whose direction can be controlled by both internal ferroic orders and external light polarization. QNFOHE consists of two types of nonlinear photocurrent responses - shift current and circular photocurrent under linearly and circularly polarized light irradiation dominated by topological shift vector and Berry curvature, respectively. We elucidate the microscopic mechanism of QNFOHE in a representative class of 2D multiferroic materials using group theoretical analyses and first-principles electronic structure theory. The complex interplay of crystalline, permutation, gauge, and time reversal symmetries as well as inherent causality governs the symmetry properties of shift current and circular photocurrent. QNFOHE combined with rich ferroic degrees of freedom in multiferroic materials will open up a variety of new avenues for realizing tunable and configurable nonlinear optoelectronics etc.
