Nonlinear optical Hall effect of few-layered NbSe2
arXiv:2203.12767 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.013219
Abstract
NbSe is one of metallic two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials. Because of broken crystal inversion symmetry, large spin splitting is induced by Ising-type spin-orbit coupling in odd-number-layered NbSe, but absent for even-number-layered NbSe with the inversion symmetry. In this paper, we numerically calculate nonlinear optical charge and spin Hall conductivities of few-layered NbSe based on an effective tight-binding model which includes , and orbitals of Nb atom. We show that the nonlinear optical Hall conductivity for second harmonic generation (SHG) process has nonvanishing value in odd-number-layered NbSe. Also, we provide nonlinear optical selection rule in few-layered NbSe and their polarization dependences. In further, for even-number-layered case, the nonlinear optical Hall currents can be generated by applying electric fields which break inversion symmetry. We also discuss that the nonlinear optical Hall effect is expected to occur in TMDC materials in general. Thus, our results will serve to design potential opt-spintronics devices based on 2D materials to generate the spin Hall current by SHG.
