Using \\textit{ab initio} Boltzmann transport equations, we find a 60\\% enhancement in the nonlinear Hall effect of $n$-doped GeTe and its noticeable frequency dependence, qualitatively different from the predictions based on the Berry curvature dipole. The origin of these differences is long-lived valley polarization in the electron distribution arising from electron-phonon scattering. Our findings await immediate experimental confirmation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-08T17:53:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonlinear hall effect", "long-lived valley-polarizing relaxons", "berry curvature dipole", "findings await immediate experimental confirmation", "boltzmann transport equations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
