Abstract

Based on the quantum kinetic equation for electrons, we theoretically study the quantum multi-photon non-linear absorption of a strong electromagnetic wave (EMW) in two-dimensional graphene. Two cases of the electron scattering mechanism are considered: Electron-optical phonon scattering and electron-acoustic phonon scattering. The general multi-photon absorption coefficient is presented as a function of the temperature, the external magnetic field, the photon energy and the amplitude of external EMW. These analytical expressions for multi-photon non-linear absorption coefficient (MNAC) are numerically calculated and the results are discussed in both the absence and presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene sheet. The results show that there is no absorption peak in the absence of the magnetic field, which contrasts with previous results in 2D systems such as quantum wells or superlattices. However, when there is a strong magnetic field along the direction perpendicular to the 2D graphene, absorption spectral lines appear consistent with the magneto-phonon resonance conditions. Our calculations show that the MPA's effect is stronger than mono-photon absorption. Besides, the quantum multi-photon non-linear absorption phenomenon has been studied from low to high temperatures. This transcends the limits of the classical BKE which is studied in the high-temperature domain. The computational results show that the dependence of MNAC on the above quantities is consistent with the previous theoretical investigation. Another novel feature of this work is that the general analytic expression for MNAC shows the Half Width at Half Maximum dependence on the magnetic field which is in good agreement with the previous experimental observations. Thus, our estimation might give a critical prediction for future experimental observations in 2D graphene.

Spiral-induced anomalous Hall effect from odd-parity spin-nodal lines

Spin spirals represent a fundamental class of noncollinear yet coplanar magnetic structures that give rise to diverse emergent phenomena through their coupling to itinerant electrons. We investigate metallic systems with spin spirals and uncover an unconventional anomalous Hall effect (AHE) induced by spiral magnetism in both noncentrosymmetric and centrosymmetric crystals. The spin spiral generates odd-parity spin splitting with polarization perpendicular to the helical plane, forming spin-nodal lines in the electronic structure. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling, finite magnetization opens gaps at these nodal lines, resulting in the Berry curvature concentrated near the gaps and a distinctive AHE. We identify the interplay among the spin-orbit coupling, helical plane orientation, and magnetization direction as the key ingredient for this spiral-induced AHE. Our results establish a broadly applicable mechanism for anomalous Hall responses across a wide range of materials hosting spin spirals.

Unconventional magnetoelectric conductivity and electrochemical response from dipole-like sources of Berry curvature

We investigate the longitudinal magnetoelectric conductivity and nonlinear electrochemical response (ECR) of three-dimensional nodal-ring semimetals, including vortex nodal-rings (VNRs) and $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric nodal-rings (PTNRs), together with three-band Hopf semimetals (HSMs), using the semiclassical Boltzmann formalism. The nodal rings of the VNRs and PTNRs are taken to lie in the $k_z=0$ plane, whereas the nodal points of HSMs host isolated Berry-curvature (BC) dipoles whose axes are aligned along the $k_z$ direction. In VNRs, such dipoles may be viewed as forming a continuous distribution along the nodal ring, providing a useful connection between the two classes of systems. For collinear electric and magnetic ($\mathcal{B}$) fields applied along the anisotropy axis $\boldsymbol {\hat{z}}$, the linear response is computed exactly, displaying the presence of odd powers of $B_z$. For a two-node HSM with oppositely oriented BC-dipole axes, a competition between intranode and internode scattering plays out. We further analyse the nonlinear ECR, described by third-rank response tensors that relate the electrical current to the combined effects of an external electric field and a chemical-potential gradient. The surviving tensor components are shown to be completely determined by the tilt direction of the band structure. A comparison of the three systems reveals a close correspondence between the responses of VNRs and HSMs, while PTNRs display qualitatively different behavior. We attribute these similarities and differences to the topology of the BC field, namely dipole-like sources in VNRs and HSMs versus the ring-confined BC structure characteristic of PTNRs.

In-Memory AM Demodulation Using an All-Silicon Independent-Dual-Gate Gain-Cell Memory with $<10^{-22}$ A Leakage Determined by Single-Electron Counting

Ultra-low-leakage memories are attracting increasing attention for in-memory sensing and computing. However, achieving sufficiently long retention in silicon memories for analog signal processing remains challenging because of leakage through the access transistor. In this work, we demonstrate an all-silicon independent-dual-gate memory whose leakage current, inferred from single-electron counting statistics, is below $10^{-22}$ A, giving a measured retention time exceeding 1000 s. Owing to the extremely low leakage, the subthreshold nonlinearity of the access transistor can be exploited without disturbing the stored charge, enabling in-memory amplitude-modulation (AM) demodulation. The proposed memory provides a CMOS-compatible platform for ultra-low-power signal processing and in-memory sensing.
