Abstract
We report on the observation of nonlinear magneto-gyrotropic photogalvanic effect in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum wells. The interband absorption of mid-infrared radiation as well as the intrasubband absorption of terahertz radiation in the heterostructures is shown to cause a dc electric current in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. A cubic in magnetic field component of the photocurrent is observed in quantum wells with the inverted band structure only. The experimental data are discussed in terms of both the phenomenological theory and microscopic models.
