High-harmonic generation in the Rice-Mele model: Role of intraband current originating from interband transition (2209.09595v1)
Published 20 Sep 2022 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We consider high-harmonic generation (HHG) in the Rice-Mele model to study the role of the intraband current originating from the change of the intraband dipole via interband transition. This contribution, which has been often neglected in previous works, is necessary for the consistent theoretical formulation of the light-matter coupling. We demonstrate that the contribution becomes crucial when the gap is smaller than or comparable to the excitation frequency and the system is close to the half filling.
