Electrically tunable circular photocurrent via local-field induced symmetry breaking at a metal-MoTe2 interface

Butian Zhang, Kexin Wang, Jun-Tao Ma +7

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) constitute a promising platform for symmetry-engineered responses to circularly polarized light. The high crystal symmetry of centrosymmetr…

Comprehensive Study of Phonon Chirality under Symmetry Constraints

Shuai Zhang, Zhiheng Huang, Muchen Du +3

Phonons are quanta of lattice vibrations, and their modes (linear, circular, or stationary) are symmetry-determined. Circularly polarized phonons, possessing nonzero angular moment…

Circular Photocurrents in Centrosymmetric Semiconductors with Hidden Spin Polarization

Kexin Wang, Butian Zhang, Chengyu Yan +2

Centrosymmetric materials with site inversion asymmetries possess hidden spin polarization, which remains challenging to be converted into spin currents because the global inversio…
