Hall Shift Current and Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in Gapped Dirac Fermion Systems

Abstract

We discuss a new mechanism for the nonlinear anomalous Hall effect in tilted two-dimensional gapped Dirac fermion systems. This mechanism originates from a side-jump displacement associated with Landau–Zener tunneling across the mass gap. In lightly doped tilted Dirac systems with a small gap, this interband mechanism can contribute to the nonlinear anomalous Hall effect in addition to the conventional intraband mechanism arising from the Berry curvature dipole. It provides a possible explanation for the nonlinear Hall effect accompanied by nonlinear longitudinal transport observed in the organic Dirac fermion system α-(ET) 2 I 3 with an extremely small gap.
