Nonlinear response in a non-centrosymmetric topological insulator
arXiv:1904.02968 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.155146
Abstract
Nonlinear phenomena are inherent in most systems in nature. Second or higher-order harmonic generations, three-wave and four-wave mixing are typical phenomena in nonlinear optics. To obtain a nonzero signal for second-harmonic generation in the long-wavelength limit (), the breaking of inversion symmetry is required. In topological materials, a hexagonal warping term which breaks the rotation symmetry of the Fermi surface is observed by angular-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES). If a gap opens (e.g., by doping with magnetic impurities) the inversion symmetry will be broken. Here we use a nonlinear response theory based on a generalized Kubo formula to explain the frequency up-conversion in topological materials.
