The phase transition between non-trivial and trivial topological states is important, not only for basic materials science but also for next-generation technology, such as dissipation-free electronics4. It is therefore crucial to develop advanced probes that are suitable for a wide range of samples and environments. Here we demonstrate that circularly polarized laser-field-driven high-harmonic generation is distinctly sensitive to the non-trivial and trivial topological phases in the prototypical three-dimensional topological insulator bismuth selenide5. The phase transition is chemically initiated by reducing the spin–orbit interaction strength through the substitution of bismuth with indium atoms6,7. We find strikingly different high-harmonic responses of trivial and non-trivial topological surface states that manifest themselves as a conversion efficiency and elliptical dichroism that depend both on the driving laser ellipticity and the crystal orientation. The origins of the anomalous high-harmonic response are corroborated by calculations using the semiconductor optical Bloch equations with pairs of surface and bulk bands. As a purely optical approach, this method offers sensitivity to the electronic structure of the material, including its nonlinear response, and is compatible with a wide range of samples and sample environments."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2023-08-09T13:07:51Z","intvolume":" 16","_id":"13991","extern":"1","oa_version":"None","date_published":"2022-09-01T00:00:00Z","date_updated":"2023-08-22T07:20:09Z","article_type":"original","author":[{"first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Heide","full_name":"Heide, Christian"},{"first_name":"Yuki","full_name":"Kobayashi, Yuki","last_name":"Kobayashi"},{"first_name":"Denitsa Rangelova","full_name":"Baykusheva, Denitsa Rangelova","id":"71b4d059-2a03-11ee-914d-dfa3beed6530","last_name":"Baykusheva"},{"last_name":"Jain","full_name":"Jain, Deepti","first_name":"Deepti"},{"first_name":"Jonathan A.","full_name":"Sobota, Jonathan A.","last_name":"Sobota"},{"first_name":"Makoto","full_name":"Hashimoto, Makoto","last_name":"Hashimoto"},{"full_name":"Kirchmann, Patrick S.","last_name":"Kirchmann","first_name":"Patrick S."},{"full_name":"Oh, Seongshik","last_name":"Oh","first_name":"Seongshik"},{"full_name":"Heinz, Tony F.","last_name":"Heinz","first_name":"Tony F."},{"first_name":"David A.","full_name":"Reis, David A.","last_name":"Reis"},{"first_name":"Shambhu","last_name":"Ghimire","full_name":"Ghimire, Shambhu"}],"page":"620-624","publication_status":"published","issue":"9"}
