Abstract We investigate the effect of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) on photoconductivities of rectified currents in monolayer graphene with exchange field and sublattice potential. The system shows that the photoconductivities of resonant shift and injection current contributions are nonzero, while the photoconductivities of non-resonant shift current contribution are zero. We find that the RSOC induces a warping term, which leads to the nonzero rectified currents. Moreover, the photoconductivities of resonant injection (shift) current contribution are (not) related to the relaxation rate. The similar behavior can be found in other Dirac materials, and our findings provide a way to tune the nonlinear transport properties of Dirac materials.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
