Oral: Nonlinear transport theory at the order of quantum metric
ORAL
Abstract
Quantum metric, a probe to spacetime of the Hilbert space, has been found measurable in the nonlinear electronic transport and attracted tremendous interest. We show that the quantum metric is only a tip of the iceberg, by deriving unknown 11 out of 14 formulas of the quadratic nonlinear conductivity under the same symmetry that the quantum metric emerges. The formulas allow us to determine nonzero nonlinear conductivity elements for the magnetic point groups, calculate the quadratic nonlinear conductivity for arbitrary Hamiltonian, e.g., the even-layered MnBi2Ti4 thin films with and without the C3 symmetry, and formulate scaling laws at the order of quantum metric to distinguish different mechanisms in the recent experiments.The theory is a comprehensive description of the quadratic nonlinear transport and will facilitate future experiments and applications.
