Ab initio study of the nonlinear optics of III-V semiconductors in the terahertz regime

We compute from first principles the infrared dispersion of the nonlinear susceptibility χ(2) in zinc-blende semiconductors. At terahertz frequencies the nonlinear susceptibility depends not only on the purely electronic response χ∞ (2), but also on three other parameters C1, C2, and C3 describing t...
