Electron dynamical mechanisms for high-harmonic generation in Fibonacci quasicrystals — •Francisco Navarrete and Dieter Bauer — Institut für Physik-Universität Rostock

The mechanism of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids has been theoretically studied over the last two decades, and experimentally verified a decade ago [1]. While many conclusions have been drawn for this process in periodic crystals, it has also been predicted a strong dependence of the HHG spectrum on the topology of the sample [2]. Recently, by the study of a Fibonacci chain, it has been demonstrated that quasicrystals might constitute excellent materials for HHG due to their higher yield [3], when compared with crystals of the same composition. In this presentation, we will discuss the electron-dynamics responsible for HHG in Fibonacci quasicrystals when compared to both crystals and amorphous materials. We will describe the crystal-momentum resolved [4] contributions as well as mechanisms that might explain the yield enhancement as well as the parity of the harmonics in each material.
