Non-linear optical response of TMD Nanotubes using Wannier interpolation — •Jyoti Krishna and Julen Ibañez-Azpiroz — Centro de Fisica de Materiales (CSIC-UPV/EHU), Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Single crystals lacking an inversion center display a non-vanishing second-order response known as shift current- a dominant contribution to the bulk photovoltaic effect. There has been a renewed interest in novel materials with large non-linear absorption capabilities[1]. Here we focus on transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubes, which have recently exhibited a short-circuit intensity showing orders of magnitude enhancement over the monolayer value[2]. We systematically explore the implications of the different chiral indexes on both linear and quadratic optical responses for single-walled TMD NT employing the Wannier interpolation technique. We classify the allowed symmetry and calculate the dependence of the magnitude of the response as a function of NT diameter and chirality. Finally, we discussed our results in the context of the experimental measurements.
