Valley-resolved high harmonics probe symmetry breaking beyond the Dirac cone

Pablo Pais, Alfredo Iorio, Marcelo F. Ciappina

Low-energy electrons in graphene obey an emergent, rotationally invariant Dirac equation, while the honeycomb lattice enters only through higher-order, symmetry-breaking correction…
