The photogalvanic effect in media lacking a center of symmetry
Abstract
This review presents the fundamental theoretical concepts concerning the photogalvanic effect (PGE)—the phenomenon of appearance of a direct current in a homogeneous medium under uniform illumination. This effect can occur in all media lacking a center of symmetry, in particular, in ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, gyrotropic crystals, and in gases and liquid possessing natural optical activity. The starting point of a systematic microscopic theory is the asymmetry of the elementary electronic processes—their noninvariance with respect to spatial reflection. Within the framework of the theory, we study the most important mechanisms of the PGE in the regions of impurity, interband, and intraband light absorption. Possible observable manifestations of the PGE are discussed. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data.

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.
