Electric field tunable non-linear Hall terahertz detector in Dual quantum spin Hall insulator $\text{TaIrTe}_4$

Abstract

Nonlinear Hall effect (NHE) can be generated via Berry curvature dipole (BCD) on nonequilibrium Fermi surface in a non-magnetic system without inversion symmetry.To achieve a large BCD, strong local Berry curvatures and their variation with respect to momentum are necessary and hence topological materials with strong inter-band coupling emerge as promising candidates. In this study, we propose a switchable and robust BCD in the newlydiscovered dual quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) $\text{TaIrTe}_4$ by applying out-of-plane electric fields. Switchable BCD could be found along with topological phase transitions or insulator-metal transition in the primitive cell and CDW phases of $\text{TaIrTe}_4$ monolayer. This work presents an instructive strategy for achieving a switchable and robust BCD within dual QSHIs, which should be helpful for designing the NHE-based THz radiations detector.
