For gapped graphene, we predict that an intense ultrashort (single-oscillation) circularly
polarized optical pulse can induce a large population of the conduction band and a large …

We theoretically introduce the fundamentally fastest induction of a significant population and
valley polarization in a monolayer of a transition metal dichalcogenide (ie, MoS 2 and WS 2) …

Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains are the simplest model systems that display topological
edge states. We calculate high-harmonic spectra of SSH chains that are coupled to an …

We theoretically study the interaction of ultrashort optical pulses with gapped graphene.
Such a strong pulse results in a finite conduction band population and a corresponding …

A many-order-of-magnitude difference in the harmonic yield from the two topological phases
of finite, dimerizing linear chains in laser fields has recently been observed in all-electron …

Recent studies in high-harmonic spectroscopy of condensed matter mainly focused on the
bulk of the system under consideration. In this work we investigate the response of thin …

A theory for laser-driven electron dynamics and high-harmonic generation in bulk solids with
two lattice sites per unit cell of arbitrary dimension is formulated. In tight-binding …

High-harmonic spectroscopy is a promising candidate for imaging electronic structures and
dynamics in condensed matter by all-optical means and with unprecedented temporal …

This article aims to study the linear and nonlinear optical response of inversion symmetric
graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in the presence of on-site disorder or vacancies. The …

We predict that a single oscillation of a strong optical pulse can significantly populate the
surface conduction band of a three-dimensional topological insulator, Bi 2 Se 3. Both …
