Abstract A nodal ring semimetal (NRSM) can be driven to a spin-polarized NRSM or a spin-polarized Weyl semimetal (SWSM) by a high-frequency electromagnetic field. We investigate the conditions in realizing these phases and propose a switchable spin-polarized currents generator based on periodically driven NRSMs. Both bulk and surface polarized currents are investigated. The polarization of bulk current is sensitive to the amplitude of the driving field and robust against the direction and polarization of the driving, the opaqueness of the lead-device interface and the misalignment between the nodal ring and the interface, which provides sufficient flexibility in manipulating the devices. Similar switchable polarized surface currents are also expected, which is contributed by the Fermi arc surface state associated with the Weyl semimetal (WSM) phases. The generation of polarized currents and the polarization switching effect offer opportunities to design periodic driving controlled topological spintronics devices based on NRSMs.

Abstract We address the impact of crystal phase disorder on the generation of helicity-dependent photocurrents in layered MoTe2, which is one of the van der Waals materials to realize the topological type-II Weyl semimetal phase. Using scanning photocurrent microscopy, we spatially probe the phase transition and its hysteresis between the centrosymmetric, monoclinic 1T’ phase to the symmetry-broken, orthorhombic Td phase as a function of temperature. We find a highly disordered photocurrent response in the intermediate temperature regime. Moreover, we demonstrate that helicity-dependent and ultrafast photocurrents in MoTe2 arise most likely from a local breaking of the electronic symmetries. Our results highlight the prospects of local domain morphologies and ultrafast relaxation dynamics on the optoelectronic properties of low-dimensional van der Waals circuits.

AbstractPhotosensing and energy harvesting based on exotic properties of quantum materials and new operation principles have great potential to break the fundamental performance limit of conventional photodetectors and solar cells. Weyl semimetals have demonstrated novel optoelectronic properties that promise potential applications in photodetection and energy harvesting arising from their gapless linear dispersion and Berry field enhanced nonlinear optical effect at the vicinity of Weyl nodes. In this work, we demonstrate robust photocurrent generation at the edge of Td-WTe2, a type-II Weyl semimetal, due to crystalline-symmetry breaking along certain crystal fracture directions and possibly enhanced by robust fermi-arc type surface states. This edge response is highly generic and arises universally in a wide class of quantum materials with similar crystal symmetries. The robust and generic edge current response provides a charge separation mechanism for photosensing and energy harvesting over broad wavelength range.
