Local photo-excitation of shift current in noncentrosymmetric systems

Photocurrent in solids is an important phenomenon with many applications including the solar cells. In conventional photoconductors, the electrons and holes created by light irradiation are separated by the external electric field, resulting in a current flowing into electrodes. Shift current in non...
