How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Recent techniques have allowed transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers to be grown and adequately characterised. Of particular interest, their nonlinear optical response presents many promising opportunities for future nanophotonic devices and technology. The dispersion of the carriers is trigonally-warped, leading to an anisotropic Fermi...

A summary of the methods, results and conclusions of the paper with the same name - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320371077_The_Nonlinear_Optical_Effects_of_Opening_a_Gap_in_Graphene
Article
Full-text available
Graphene possesses remarkable electronic, optical and mechanical properties that have taken the research of two-dimensional relativistic condensed matter systems to prolific levels. However, the understanding of how its nonlinear optical properties are affected by relativistic-like effects has been broadly uncharted. It has been recently shown that...

The usually-held notion that monolayer graphene, a centrosymmetric system, does not allow even-harmonic generation when illuminated at normal incidence is challenged by the discovery of a peculiar effect we term the dynamical centrosymmetry breaking mechanism. This effect results in a global pulse-induced oscillation of the Dirac cones which in tur...
Article
We discover an unusual phenomenon that occurs when a graphene monolayer is illuminated by a short and intense pulse at normal incidence. Due to the pulse-induced oscillations of the Dirac cones, a dynamical breaking of the layer’s centrosymmetry takes place, leading to the generation of second harmonic waves. We prove that this result can only be f...

Conference Paper
A set of equations is proposed as a model for nonlinear light-matter interactions in monolayer graphene with pulsed light. At normal incidence, these equations predict SHG by encapsulating a new mechanism of centrosymmetry breaking.
