We determine the enantiospecific sign of the nonlinear conductance and identify anomalies in its carrier-density dependence. Our findings, combined with the Boltzmann equation, are attributed to a chiral orbital texture, namely a chiral distribution of the orbital magnetic moment in reciprocal space. This study underscores the efficacy of nonlinear transport measurements in probing orbital-related effects, whose differentiation from spin counterparts is often demanding in the linear response regime of electron transport.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-12T05:32:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chiral orbital texture", "nonlinear electrical conduction", "electrical conduction primarily", "chiral semiconductor te", "linear response regime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
