By using first-principles calculations and Floquet theory, we found that a significant anisotropic Rashba spin splitting can be induced in the valence and conduction bands of buckled honeycomb GaAs monolayer under specific laser irradiation conditions. This nonlinear effect, determined by the laser propagation direction, provides the possibility of controlling the anisotropy characteristics of Rashba effect and enables the generation of spin-polarized electrons for spintronic devices.
We investigate the electronic properties of the buckled honeycomb GaAs monolayer under a periodically circularly polarized laser (CPL) by first-principles calculations and Floquet theory. Under the irradiation of CPL with propagation direction in the xy plane, a remarkable Rashba spin splitting (RSS) is induced in the valence and conduction bands at Gamma point. The laser-driven RSS deviates from the classical linear Rashba model in a wide range of wave vectors, and can be interpreted by a nonlinear model involving the third-order terms. The phase diagram of Rashba effect with laser amplitude and propagation direction is worked out. The anisotropy of the nonlinear RSS is mainly determined by the laser propagation direction, providing the possibility of controlling the Rashba anisotropy characteristics. By carefully choosing the laser frequency and amplitude, giant anisotropic RSS can be obtained, which allows the generation of spin-polarized electrons via doping and facilitates the flexibility of spintronic devices.
