Surface lone-pair polarization probed by quantum-geometric transport in tellurium
Nathanael N. Batista, Wendel S. Paz, Manuel Suárez-Rodríguez +10
Stereochemically active lone pairs are ubiquitous microscopic sources of polarity in molecules and solids, but their collective behavior in crystals is often hidden by symmetry or…

Angular-resolved nonlinear optical response as a probe of Lorentz violation in noncentrosymmetric materials
Guilherme J. Inacio, Nathanael N. Batista, Wesley Spalenza +3
We propose a methodology to detect weak Lorentz-violating (LV) backgrounds through the nonlinear shift photocurrent in noncentrosymmetric crystals. Using a spinful Rice--Mele model…
