Adiabatically induced orbital magnetization

C **ao, Y Ren, B **ong - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
A semiclassical theory for the orbital magnetization due to adiabatic evolutions of Bloch
electronic states is proposed. It renders a unified theory for the periodic-evolution pumped …

Valley polarization in biased bilayer graphene using circularly polarized light

A Friedlan, MM Dignam - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Achieving a population imbalance between the two inequivalent valleys is a critical first step
for any valleytronic device. A valley polarization can be induced in biased bilayer graphene …

Exploiting anisotropic Rashba effects on real-time photocurrents and spin polarization for transient symmetry breaking

MWY Tu, JP Chou, CW Luo - arxiv preprint arxiv:2208.04805, 2022 - arxiv.org
We theoretically investigate the real-time transient responses of a two-dimensional (2D)
electron gas with anisotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to laser pulses. Through …

Revealing the non-adiabatic and non-Abelian multiple-band effects via anisotropic valley Hall conduction in bilayer graphene

C Li, MWY Tu, W Yao - 2D Materials, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Many quantum materials of interest, eg bilayer graphene, possess a number of closely
spaced but not fully degenerate bands near the Fermi level, where the coupling to the far …
