We show that the exciton optical selection rule in gapped chiral fermion systems is governed by their winding number $w$, a topological quantity of the Bloch bands. Specifically, in a $C_N$-invariant chiral fermion system, the angular momentum of bright exciton states is given by $w pm 1 + nN$ with $n$ being an integer. We demonstrate our theory by proposing two chiral fermion systems capable of hosting dark $s$-like excitons: gapped surface states of a topological crystalline insulator with $C_4$ rotational symmetry and biased $3R$-stacked MoS$_2$ bilayers. In the latter case, we show that gating can be used to tune the $s$-like excitons from bright to dark by changing the winding number. Our theory thus provides a pathway to electrical control of optical transitions in two-dimensional material.

We study the electromagnetic response and surface electromagnetic modes in a generic gapped Dirac material under pumping with circularly polarized light. The valley imbalance due to pumping leads to a net Berry curvature, giving rise to a finite transverse conductivity. We discuss the appearance of nonreciprocal chiral edge modes, their hybridization and waveguiding in a nanoribbon geometry, and giant polarization rotation in nanoribbon arrays.
We show that the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem still holds on Floquet lattice: there is an equal number of right-handed and left-handed Weyl points in 3D Floquet lattice. However, in the adiabatic limit, where the time evolution of low-energy subspace is decoupled from the high-energy subspace, we show that the bulk dynamics in the low-energy subspace can be described by Floquet bands with purely left/right-handed Weyl points, despite the no-go theorem. For the adiabatic evolution of two bands, we show that the difference of the number of right-handed and left-handed Weyl points equals twice the winding number of the Floquet operator of the low-energy subspace over the Brillouin zone, thus guaranteeing the number of Weyl points to be even. Based on this observation, we propose to realize purely left/right-handed Weyl points in the adiabatic limit using a Hamiltonian obtained through dimensional reduction of four-dimensional quantum Hall system. We address the breakdown of the adiabatic limit on the surface due to the presence of gapless boundary states. This effect induces a circular motion of a wave packet in an applied magnetic field, travelling alternatively in the low-energy and high-energy subspace of the system.
Understanding the physics of light emitter in quantum nanostructure regarding scalability, geometry, structure of the system and coupling between different degrees of freedom is important as one can improve the design and further provide controls of quantum devices rigorously. The couplings between these degrees of freedom, in general, depends on the external field, the geometry of nano particles, and the experimental design. An effective model is proposed to describe the plasmon-exciton hybrid systems and its optical absorption spectrums are studied in details by exact diagonalization. Two different designs are discussed: nano particle planet surrounded by quantum dot satellites and quantum dot planet surrounded by nano particle satellites. In both setups, details of many quantum dots and nano particles are studied, and the spectrums are discussed in details regarding the energy of transition peaks and the weight distribution of allowed transition peaks. Also, different polarization of external fields are considered which results in anisotropic couplings, and the absorption spectrums clearly reveal the difference qualitatively. Finally, the system will undergo a phase transition in the presence of attractive interaction between excitons. Our work sheds the light on the design of nano scale quantum systems to achieve photon emitter/resonator theory in the plasmon-exciton hybrid systems.
We investigate the optical properties of spin-triplet interlayer excitons in heterobilayer transition metal dichalcogenides in comparison with the spin-singlet ones. Surprisingly, the optical transition dipole of the spin-triplet exciton is found to be in the same order of magnitude to that of the spin-singlet exciton, in sharp contrast to the monolayer excitons where the spin triplet species is considered as dark compared to the singlet. Unlike the monolayer excitons whose spin-conserved (spin-flip) transition dipole can only couple to light of in-plane (out-of-plane) polarization, such restriction is removed for the interlayer excitons due to the breaking of the out-of-plane mirror symmetry. We find that as the interlayer atomic registry changes, the optical transition dipole of interlayer exciton crosses between in-plane ones of opposite circular polarization and the out-of-plane one for both the spin-triplet and spin-singlet species. As a result, excitons of both species have non-negligible coupling into photon modes of both in-plane and out-of-plane propagations, another sharp difference from the monolayers where the exciton couples predominantly into the out-of-plane propagation channel. At given atomic registry, the spin-triplet and spin-singlet excitons have distinct valley polarization selection rules, allowing the selective optical addressing of both the valley configuration and the spin singlet/triplet configuration of interlayer excitons.
We study theoretically the interaction of ultrashort optical pulses with gapped graphene. Such strong pulse results in finite conduction band population and corresponding electric current both during and after the pulse. Since gapped graphene has broken inversion symmetry, it has an axial symmetry about the $y$-axis but not about the $x$-axis. We show that, in this case, if the linear pulse is polarized along the $x$-axis, the rectified electric current is generated in the $y$ direction. At the same time, the conduction band population distribution in the reciprocal space is symmetric about the $x$-axis. Thus, the rectified current in gapped graphene has inter-band origin, while the intra-band contribution to the rectified current is zero.
