text: In standard quantum electrodynamics (QED), the so-called non-minimal (Pauli)
coupling is suppressed for elementary particles and has no physical implications.
Here, we show that the Pauli term naturally appears in a known family of Dirac
materials—the lead-halide perovskites, suggesting a novel playground for the study
of analog QED effects. We outline measurable manifestations of the Pauli term
in the phenomena pertaining to (i) relativistic corrections to bound states (ii)
the Klein paradox, and (iii) spin effects in scattering. In particular, we demonstrate
that (a) the binding energy of an electron in the vicinity of a positively charged
defect is noticeably decreased due to the polarizability of lead ions and the
appearance of a Darwin-like term, (b) strong spin-orbit coupling due to the Pauli
term affects the exciton states, and (c) scattering of an electron off an energy
barrier with broken mirror symmetry produces spin polarization in the outgoing
current. Our study adds to the understanding of quantum phenomena in lead-halide
perovskites and paves the way for tabletop simulations of analog Dirac-Pauli equations.

text: 'Lead halide perovskites enjoy a number of remarkable optoelectronic properties.
To explain their origin, it is necessary to study how electromagnetic fields interact
with these systems. We address this problem here by studying two classical quantities:
Faraday rotation and the complex refractive index in a paradigmatic perovskite
CH3NH3PbBr3 in a broad wavelength range. We find that the minimal coupling of
electromagnetic fields to the k⋅p Hamiltonian is insufficient to describe the
observed data even on the qualitative level. To amend this, we demonstrate that
there exists a relevant atomic-level coupling between electromagnetic fields and
the spin degree of freedom. This spin-electric coupling allows for quantitative
description of a number of previous as well as present experimental data. In particular,
we use it here to show that the Faraday effect in lead halide perovskites is dominated
by the Zeeman splitting of the energy levels and has a substantial beyond-Becquerel
contribution. Finally, we present general symmetry-based phenomenological arguments
that in the low-energy limit our effective model includes all basis coupling terms
to the electromagnetic field in the linear order.'

text: 'We use general symmetry-based arguments to construct an effective model suitable
for studying optical properties of lead halide perovskites. To build the model,
we identify an atomic-level interaction between electromagnetic fields and the
spin degree of freedom that should be added to a minimally coupled k⋅p Hamiltonian.
As a first application, we study two basic optical characteristics of the material:
the Verdet constant and the refractive index. Beyond these linear characteristics
of the material, the model is suitable for calculating nonlinear effects such
as the third-order optical susceptibility. Analysis of this quantity shows that
the geometrical properties of the spin-electric term imply isotropic optical response
of the system, and that optical anisotropy of lead halide perovskites is a manifestation
of hopping of charge carriers. To illustrate this, we discuss third-harmonic generation.'
