Second Harmonic Generation Imaging of a Magnetic Topological Insulator
A topological insulator (TI) is a type of quantum material that is insulating in the bulk but metallic on the surface. Due to the unique spin properties of the surface electrons, TIs have attracted much interest for their potential applications in spin-based electronics and quantum computers. Even more exotic effects occur when TIs are brought in contact with magnetic materials. This thesis rep...
متن کاملTunable orbital angular momentum in high-harmonic generation
Optical vortices are currently one of the most intensively studied topics in optics. These light beams, which carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), have been successfully utilized in the visible and infrared in a wide variety of applications. Moving to shorter wavelengths may open up completely new research directions in the areas of optical physics and material characterization. Here, we repor...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Phase Transition and 3D Texture Inversion in a Tunable Topological Insulator
The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit interaction or the crystal lattice via odd number of band inversions, driving the system through a topological quantum phase transition. By directly measuring the to...
متن کاملTheoretical and experimental study of second harmonic generation from the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3
We develop a theoretical model that describes the second harmonic generation of light from the surface of the topological insulatorBi2Se3 and experimentally demonstrate that the technique is sensitive to the surface electrons. By performing a crystal symmetry analysis of Bi2Se3(111) we determine the nonlinear electric susceptibility tensor elements that give rise to second harmonic generation. ...
متن کاملTopological crystalline insulator nanomembrane with strain-tunable band gap
The ability to fine-tune band gap and band inversion in topological materials is highly desirable for the development of novel functional devices. Here we propose that the electronic properties of a free-standing nanomembrane of topological crystalline insulator (TCI) SnTe and Pb1−xSnx(Se,Te) are highly tunable by engineering elastic strain and controlling membrane thickness, resulting in tunab...
