Pure spin photocurrent in non-centrosymmetric crystals: bulk spin photovoltaic effect

Light offers a fast and non-invasive way to generate spin-currents in materials, however, this typically requires special ingredients such as magnetic materials, or circularly polarised light. In this theory work, the authors show how the nonlinear optical effect can generate a spin current, with th...
