Centrifugal photovoltaic and photogalvanic effects driven by structured light
Much efforts are devoted to material structuring in a quest to enhance the photovoltaic effect. We show that structuring light in a way it transfers orbital angular momentum to semiconductor-based rings results in a steady charge accumulation at the outer boundaries that can be utilized for the generation of an open circuit voltage or a photogalvanic (bulk photovoltaic) type current. This effec...
متن کاملPhotogalvanic effects in heteropolar nanotubes
We show that an electrical shift current is generated when electrons are photoexcited from the valence to conduction bands on a BN nanotube. This photocurrent follows the light pulse envelope and its symmetry is controlled by the atomic structure of the nanotube. We find that the shift current has an intrinsic quantum mechanical signature in which the chiral index of the tube determines the dir...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of x-ray spectra generated by kilo-electron-volt electrons
We present a general algorithm for the simulation of x-ray spectra emitted from targets of arbitrary composition bombarded with kilovolt electron beams. Electron and photon transport is simulated by means of the general-purpose Monte Carlo code PENELOPE, using the standard, detailed simulation scheme. Bremsstrahlung emission is described by using a recently proposed algorithm, in which the ener...
متن کاملLocalization effects and inelastic scattering in disordered heavy electrons
We study ground-state and finite-temperature properties of disordered heavy fermion metals by using a generalization of dynamical mean-field theory which incorporates Anderson localization effects. The emergence of a non-Fermi-liquid metallic behavior even at moderate disorder is shown to be a universal phenomenon resulting from local density of states fluctuations. This behavior is found to ha...
متن کاملOrbital photogalvanic effects in quantum-confined structures.
We report on the circular and linear photogalvanic effects caused by free-carrier absorption of terahertz radiation in electron channels on (001)-oriented and miscut silicon surfaces. The photocurrent behaviour upon variation of the radiation polarization state, wavelength, gate voltage, and temperature is studied. We present the microscopic and phenomenological theory of the photogalvanic effe...
