Terahertz radiation driven nonlinear transport phenomena in two-dimensional tellurene
arXiv:2410.17888 · doi:10.1021/acs.nanolett.4c05279
Abstract
Nonlinear electron transport induced by polarized terahertz radiation is studied in two-dimensional tellurene at room temperature. A direct current, quadratic in the radiation's electric field, is observed. Contributions sensitive to radiation helicity, polarization orientation as well as polarization independent current are found. We show that these contributions can be modified by the magnitude of the external gate potential. We demonstrate that this terahertz-driven electric current arises from the Berry curvature dipole and the side-jump microscopic mechanisms.Nonlinear electron transport induced by polarized terahertz radiation is studied in two-dimensional tellurene at room temperature.
