Abstract
The influence of spatial strain distribution on the anomalous circular photogalvanic effect (ACPGE) is investigated in the p-type GaAs material. By tuning the position of exerted stress, it is experimentally observed that the uniform strain related ACPGE behaves like the sine function, which resembles the non-strain situation. Whereas the gradient strain related ACPGE shows the unimodal function line shape. To explain the observations, a new theoretical model is constructed based on spin splitting of energy bands. It is demonstrated that the ACPGE could purely derive from the spin splitting effect. Besides, the combination effect of spin splitting and inverse spin Hall effect on the ACPGE is also investigated. This work reveals the importance of bands spin splitting on ACPGE, which has not been considered before.
