Spin precession and laser-induced spin-polarized photocurrents
Esteban A. Rodríguez-Mena, Matías Berdakin, Luis E. F. Foa Torres
Controlling spin currents in topological insulators (TIs) is crucial for spintronics but challenged by the robustness of their chiral edge states, which impedes the spin manipulati…
Engineering Floquet moiré patterns for scalable photocurrents
Hernan L. Calvo, Luis E. F. Foa Torres, Matias Berdakin
While intense laser irradiation and moiré engineering have independently proven powerful for tuning material properties on demand in condensed matter physics, their combination rem…
Dynamical evolution of the Schottky barrier as a determinant contribution to electron-hole pair stabilization and photocatalysis of plasmon-induced hot carriers
Matias Berdakin, German Soldano, Franco P. Bonafé +4
The harnessing of plasmon-induced hot carriers promises to open new avenues for the development of clean energies and chemical catalysis. The extraction of carriers before thermali…
Spin-polarized tunable photocurrents
Matías Berdakin, Esteban A. Rodríguez-Mena, L. E. F. Foa Torres
Harnessing the unique features of topological materials for the development of a new generation of topological based devices is a challenge of paramount importance. Using Floquet s…
Directional control of charge and valley currents in a graphene-based device
M. Berdakin, J. E. Barrios Vargas, L. E. F. Foa Torres
We propose a directional switching effect in a metallic device. To such end we exploit a graphene-based device with a three-terminal geometry in the presence of a magnetic field. W…
Topological states of non-Hermitian systems
V. M. Martinez Alvarez, J. E. Barrios Vargas, M. Berdakin +1
Recently, the search for topological states of matter has turned to non-Hermitian systems, which exhibit a rich variety of unique properties without Hermitian counterparts. Lattice…
