Expérimental Description
Today, the need of low-consumption and eco-friendly technologies has become crucial. This internship offers to study and optimize the recycling of a THz radiation into a DC current. This investigation relies on a recently discovered Hall effect – the nonlinear Hall effect – that appears in certain quantum materials. It refers to the emergence of a transverse DC current under an AC excitation, without the need of external power supply. The nonlinear Hall effect triggered by a THz radiation relies on fundamental quantum phenomena such as topology and chirality that we propose to investigate.
