Enhanced valley polarization of graphene on hBN under circularly polarized light irradiation
arXiv:2207.14399 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.106.075403
Abstract
Graphene on hBN (G/hBN) has a long period moiré superstructure owing to the lattice mismatch between two materials. Long periodic potential caused by the moiré superstructure induces modulation of electronic properties of the system. In this paper, we numerically calculate optical conductivity of G/hBN under circularly polarized light irradiation. The lack of spatial inversion symmetry in G/hBN induces the valley polarization. In further, the valley polarization becomes most pronounced in the infrared and terahertz regions if the twist angle between two materials is close to zero for non-doping case, however, insensitive with twist angle for hole-doped case. These results will serve to design the valleytronics devices using G/hBN.
