▎ 摘  要

We find that the flow of direct electric current (dc) through graphene on substrate enhances surface optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) from the graphene/substrate system. The current can enhance surface SHG by about 300% for a chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) graphene monolayer on a SiO2/Si(001) substrate, and by about 25% for an epitaxial four-layer-graphene film on a 3.5 degrees-miscut vicinal SiC(0001) substrate. The enhancement in both the CVD and epitaxial graphene samples is due to electric field-induced SHG, which is produced by the current-associated vertical electric field at the SiO2/Si interface or at the graphene/SiC interface. Measurements of rotational-anisotropy SHG (RA-SH) from both samples revealed that the current-induced SHG varies strongly with the measurement location along the current flow direction. By measuring RA-SH from the vicinal SiC(0001) substrate, we determined all three second-order susceptibility tensor elements (d(33)= - 52.0 pm/V, d(15) = 20.0 pm/V, and d(31) = 18.7 pm/V) that characterize the SHG response of hexagonal SiC at the fundamental wavelength of 740 nm. We further determined the three effective susceptibility tensor elements (d(33) = - 135.8 pm/V, d(15) = 18.5 pm/V, and d(31) = 14.6 pm/V) that characterize the surface SHG from the graphene/vicinal-SiC(0001) sample and finally showed that the current-dependent tensor element d(33) can be enhanced to a large value of d(33) = -199.0 pm/V by electric current in epitaxial graphene.
