Title: Effect of Berry phase on nonlinear response of two-dimensional fermions

Abstract

We develop a theory of nonlinear response to an electric field of two-dimensional (2D) fermions with topologically nontrivial wave functions characterized by the Berry phase Φ n = n π , n = 1 , 2 , ... . In particular, we find that owing to the suppression of backscattering at odd n , Hall field-induced resistance oscillations, which stem from elastic electron transitions between Hall field-tilted Landau levels, are qualitatively distinct from those at even n : Their amplitude decays with the electric field and their extrema are phase shifted by a quarter cycle. The theory unifies the cases of graphene ( n = 1 ) and graphite bilayer ( n = 2 ) with the case of conventional 2D electron gas ( n = 0 ) and suggests another method to probe backscattering in topological 2D systems.
