Theory of shift heat current and its application to electron-phonon coupled systems
arXiv:2201.02431 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.106.085202
Abstract
We propose a heat current analog of the shift current, "shift heat current". We study nonlinear heat current responses to an applied ac electric field by a diagrammatic method and derive a microscopic expression for the second order dc heat current response. As a result, we find that the shift heat current is related to the shift vector, a geometric quantity that also appears in the expression for the shift current. The shift heat current directly depends on and can be controlled through the chemical potential. In addition, we apply the diagrammatic method to electron-phonon coupled systems, and we find that even if only the phonons are excited by an external field, the amplitude of the shift heat current is determined by the energy scale of electrons, not of phonons.
