Current-induced break of inversion symmetry in Si: optical second-harmonic generation induced by a dc current

Abstract

The dc-current-induced optical second-harmonic generation is observed at the surface of centrosymmetric single crystal of Si. Surface dc-current with density up to jmax 103 A/cm2 results in break of inversion symmetry of Si and induces optical second-harmonic generation with intensity that corresponds to the appearance of dipole second-order susceptibility (2)d(jmax) 3 · 10-15m/V.
