Nonlinear photoresponse of type-II Weyl semimetals
Open accessAbstract
The experimental manifestation of topological effects in bulk materials is attracting enormous research interest. However, direct experimental evidence of the effective k-space monopole of the Weyl nodes has so far been lacking. Here, signatures of the singular topology of the type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe 4 are revealed in the photoresponses, which are related to divergence of the Berry curvature. TaIrTe 4 exhibits a large photoresponsivity of 130.2 mA W-1-with 4 μm excitation in an unbiased field-effect transistor at room temperature-arising from the third-order nonlinear optical response, approaching the performance of commercial low-temperature detectors. In addition, the circularly polarized galvanic response is enhanced at 4 μm, possibly due to the same Berry curvature singularity enhancement. Considering the optical selection rule of chiral Weyl cones, this may open the door for studying and controlling the chiral polarization of Weyl fermions with an electric field in addition to the optical helicities.

In Weyl semimetals, polarization-dependent photocurrent measurements point towards a geometric contribution to the shift current, revealed by a colossal bulk photovoltaic effect attributed to divergent Berry curvature near the Weyl nodes.
“polarization-dependent photocurrent measurements in the latter point towards a geometric contribution to the shift current, revealed by a colossal bulk photovoltaic effect attributed to divergent Berry curvature near the Weyl nodes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
