We review the characteristics of the optical excitations of graphene involving interband,
intraband, and collective (plasmon) electronic excitations. We then discuss the different …

We show that surface plasmons, excited with femtosecond laser pulses on continuous or
discontinuous gold substrates, strongly enhance the generation and emission of ultrashort …

Improving terahertz (THz) emission from graphene is a challenge for graphene-based THz
photonics as graphene demonstrates a weak light–matter interaction. With a unique ultra …

We report the investigation of a strong interband photon drag effect in multilayer graphene
leading to efficient emission of terahertz radiation. The obtained terahertz photoresponse of …

This book provides an overview of electronic and optical properties of graphite-related
systems. It presents a well-developed and up-to-date theoretical model and addresses …

Photon drag effect (PDE) and surface photogalvanic effect (SPGE) can be observed in
centrosymmetric media and manifest themselves in photocurrents, the magnitude and …

Graphene has recently become a unique playground for studying light-matter interaction
effects in low-dimensional electronic systems. Being of strong fundamental importance …

We observed an interaction of single-walled carbon nanotube films with obliquely incident
nanosecond laser radiation in visible and infrared regions generating unipolar voltage …

We performed the investigation of the polarization-sensitive photocurrent generated in silver-
palladium metal-semiconductor nanocomposite films under irradiation with nanosecond …

We demonstrate the changing sign of the surface photogalvanic effect current in a film
consisting of CuSe nanocrystallites in an amorphous Se matrix in a wide spectral range. The …
