Nonlocal current-response theory of structured-light dichroism

Akihito Kato, Nobuhiko Yokoshi

We develop a nonlocal minimal-coupling theory of structured-light dichroism. Optical absorption is written as a bilinear functional of the incident vector potential and the nonloca…

Optical vortex probe of loop-current chirality in moiré materials

Nobuhiko Yokoshi, Akihito Kato

We propose a symmetry-resolved optical probe of intrinsic loop-current chirality in moiré materials, with twisted bilayer graphene as a representative realization. Interlayer inte…

Microscopic Theory of Chiral-Phonon-Induced Orbital Selectivity in Helical Crystals

Tomomi Tateishi, Akihito Kato, Alexander S. Ovchinnikov +1

We present a microscopic theory of chirality-induced orbital selectivity (CIOS) in helical crystals, in which truly chiral phonons selectively transfer angular momentum to electron…

Effective electron coupling to phonon mechanical angular momentum in helical systems

Akihito Kato, Nobuhiko Yokoshi, Jun-ichiro Kishine

In chiral crystals, two types of phonon angular momenta have been introduced. One is crystal angular momentum (CAM) arising from the rotational or screw-rotational symmetry and the…

Electron-Chiral Phonon Coupling, Crystal Angular Momentum, and Phonon Chirality

Tomomi Tateishi, Akihito Kato, Jun-ichiro Kishine

We explicitly derive the wavefunctions of chiral phonons propagating along the helical axis in chiral crystals and clarify the characteristics of electron-phonon interactions in ch…

Description of molecular chirality and its analysis with high harmonic generation

Akihito Kato, Nobuhiko Yokoshi

To clarify the microscopic origin of chirality-induced optical effect, we develop an analytical method that extracts the chiral part of the Hamiltonian of molecular electronic stat…
