Normal electric field enhanced light-induced polarizations and magnetic detection of valley polarization in silicene

Abstract The role of staggered potential on light-induced spin and pseudo-spin polarization has been investigated in silicene. It has been shown that non-equilibrium spin and pseudo-spin polarizations are emerged in silicene sheet by applying an external perpendicular electric field in the presence...
