The Berry dipole photovoltaic demon and the thermodynamics of photo-current generation within the optical gap of metals

We dismantle the previously held misconception that it is impossible for bulk rectification mechanisms to induce a net DC electric current when the frequency of the impinging radiation lies within the optical gap of a metal in the limit of small carrier relaxation rates. We argue that generically...
