We observed anisotropy in the crystal orientation dependence of the high harmonics yield, which in turn varies substantially with the electric field strength of mid-infrared laser pulse for excitation. Our real-time ab initio simulations well reproduce the experimental results. From decomposition analysis of the intraband current, we reveal that strongly nonlinear virtual population dynamics, causing no permanent excited carriers, rather than the anharmonic potential in the band structure is mainly responsible for HHG.}, pages = {041125(R)-1--041125(R)-7}, title = {Role of Nonlinear Virtual Population for High Harmonic Generation in Solids}, volume = {102}, year = {2020} }
