Shift current is a DC current generated from nonlinear light-matter interaction in a non-centrosymmetric crystal and is considered a promising candidate for next generation photovoltaic devices. The mechanism for shift currents in real materials is, however, still not well understood, especially if electron-hole interactions are taken into account. Here, we employ a first-principles interacting Greens-function approach on the Keldysh contour to study photocurrents generated by nonlinear optical processes in real materials and discover a strong DC shift current at subbandgap excitation frequencies in monolayer GeS due to strongly bound excitons, as well as giant enhancement in the shift current coefficients at above bandgap photon frequencies. Our results suggest that atomically thin two-dimensional materials may be promising building blocks for next generation shift current devices with efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit.

The photoconductions of ultrafast InGaAs:ErAs nanocomposites at low temperatures were investigated. The parabolic Tauc edge as well as the exponential Urbach tail are identified in the absorption spectrum. The Tauc edge supports that the density of s
tates at the bottom of conduction band is proportional to the square root of energy. The Urbach edge is attributed to interband transition caused by smooth microscopic internal fields. The square root of mean-squared internal fields, whose distribution is Gaussian, is found in the order of $10^{5}$V/cm, agreeing very well with the theoretical predictions by Esser (B. ~ Esser, Phys. stat. sol. (b), vol. 51, 735 (1972)).
A way to increase the Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) sensitivity in the harmonic 3w mode is to heat the probe with an AC current sufficiently high to generate a coupling between the AC and the DC signals. We detail in this paper how to properly t
ake into account this coupling with a Wollaston-probe SThM. We also show how to link correctly the thermal conductivity to the thermal conductance measured by the SThM.
Photo-induced phase transitions (PIPTs) provide an ultrafast, energy-efficient way for precisely manipulating the topological properties of transition-metal ditellurides, and can be used to stabilize a topological phase in an otherwise semiconducting
material. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the PIPT in monolayer MoTe$_2$ from the semiconducting 2H phase to the topological 1T$$ phase can be triggered purely by electronic excitations that soften multiple lattice vibrational modes. These softenings, driven by a Peierls-like mechanism within the conduction bands, lead to structural symmetry breaking within sub-picosecond timescales, which is shorter than the timescale of a thermally driven phase transition. The transition is predicted to be triggered by photons with energies over $1.96$,eV, with an associated excited carrier density of $3.4times10^{14}$,cm$^{-2}$, which enables a controllable phase transformation by varying the laser wavelength. Our results provide insight into the underlying physics of the phase transition in 2D transition-metal ditellurides, and show an ultrafast phase transition mechanism for manipulation of the topological properties of 2D systems.
In this work we investigated thin films of the ferrimagnetic insulators YIG and NFO capped with thin Pt layers in terms of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE). The electric response detected in the Pt layer under an out-of-plane temperature g
radient can be interpreted as a pure spin current converted into a charge current via the inverse spin Hall effect. Typically, the transverse voltage is the quantity investigated in LSSE measurements (in the range of mu V). Here, we present the directly detected DC current (in the range of nA) as an alternative quantity. Furthermore, we investigate the resistance of the Pt layer in the LSSE configuration. We found an influence of the test current on the resistance. The typical shape of the LSSE curve varies for increasing test currents.
A pressure-induced phase transition, associated with an increase of the coordination number of In and Ta, is detected beyond 13 GPa in InTaO4 by combining synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman measurements in a diamond anvil cell with ab-initio cal
culations. High-pressure optical-absorption measurements were also carried out. The high-pressure phase has a monoclinic structure which shares the same space group with the low-pressure phase (P2/c). The structure of the high-pressure phase can be considered as a slight distortion of an orthorhombic structure described by space group Pcna. The phase transition occurs together with a unit-cell volume collapse and an electronic bandgap collapse observed by experiments and calculations. Additionally, a band crossing is found to occur in the low-pressure phase near 7 GPa. The pressure dependence of all the Raman-active modes is reported for both phases as well as the pressure dependence of unit-cell parameters and the equations of state. Calculations also provide information on IR-active phonons and bond distances. These findings provide insights into the effects of pressure on the physical properties of InTaO4.
