Nonlinear transport effects in a polar crystal |
要旨(英語) |
Recently, nonlinear transport effects attract a lot of interest both experimentally and theoretically. One important example of such effects is a p-n junction. A p-n junction is formed by joining two types of semiconductors, which breaks not only the spatial inversion symmetry but also the translational symmetry. Other systems that may exhibit nonlinear transport effects include the bulk crystals belonging to the noncentrosymmetric point groups. However, as they are translationally symmetric, when the system has the time-reversal symmetry, the nonlinear transport effects are prohibited because the group velocities cancel out each other with respect to the crystal momentum *k *and *-k*. Therefore, time-reversal symmetry breaking with magnetization or magnetic field, electron correlation, or other effects must be involved. Here, we focus on the ferromagnetic polar crystal, in which both the inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, which triggers the nonlinear transport effects. In this presentation, I will talk about the experimental method, results and problems of my research. |
