Lysne, Markus Murakami, Yuta Schüler, Michael Werner, Philipp 2020-08-26 We study high-harmonic generation in two-dimensional electron systems with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and derive harmonic generation selection rules with the help of group theory. Based on the band structures of these minimal models and explicit simulations we reveal how the spin-orbit parameters control the cutoff energy in the high-harmonic spectrum. We also show that the magnetic field and polarization dependence of this spectrum provides information on the magnitude of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling parameters. The shape of the Fermi surface can be deduced at least qualitatively and if only one type of spin-orbit coupling is present, the coupling strength can be determined. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/309057 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/309057/files/wer_hhs.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.102.081121 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Physical Review B. - 2020, vol. 102, no. 8, p. 081121 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 High-harmonic generation in spin-orbit coupled systems http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
