27 Nov 2014 | | Abstract: | Ratchet effect -- a {it dc} current induced by the electromagnetic wave
impinging on the spatially modulated two-dimensional (2D) electron liquid --
occurs when the wave amplitude is spatially modulated with the same wave vector
as the 2D liquid but is shifted in phase. The analysis within the framework of
the hydrodynamic model shows that the ratchet current is dramatically enhanced
in the vicinity of the plasmonic resonances and has nontrivial polarization
dependence. In particular, for circular polarization, the current component,
perpendicular to the modulation direction, changes sign with the inversion of
the radiation helicity. Remarkably, in the high-mobility structures, this
component might be much larger than the the current component in the modulation
direction. We also discuss the non-resonant regime realized in dirty systems,
where the plasma resonances are suppressed, and demonstrate that the
non-resonant ratchet current is controlled by the Maxwell relaxation in the 2D
liquid. | | Source: | arXiv, 1411.7436 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
