Theory of the inverse Faraday effect due to the Rashba spin–oribt interactions: roles of band dispersions and Fermi surfaces
We theoretically study the inverse Faraday effect, i.e., the optical induction of spin polarization with circularly polarized light, by particularly focusing on effects of band dispersions and Fermi surfaces in crystal systems with the spin–orbit interaction (SOI). By numerically solving the time-de...
