THz radiation induced circular Hall effect in graphene
arXiv:2202.01135 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.155416
Abstract
We report on the observation of the circular transversal terahertz photoconductivity in monolayer graphene supplied by a back gate. The photoconductivity response is caused by the free carrier absorption and reverses its sign upon switching the radiation helicity. The observed dc Hall effect manifests the time inversion symmetry breaking induced by circularly polarized terahertz radiation in the absence of a magnetic field. For low gate voltages, the photosignal is found to be proportional to the radiation intensity and can be ascribed to the alignment of electron momenta by the combined action of THz and static electric fields as well as by the dynamic heating and cooling of the electron gas. Strikingly, at high gate voltages, we observe that the linear-in-intensity Hall photoconductivity vanishes; the photoresponse at low intensities becomes superlinear and varies with the square of the radiation intensity. We attribute this behavior to the interplay of the second- and fourth-order effects in the radiation electric field which has not been addressed theoretically so far and requires additional studies.
