Summary

Story summary

Researchers linked the non-Hermitian geometric tensor to nonlinear electrical responses in materials with a spectral line gap.
Wavepacket width significantly influences non-Hermitian transport and conductivity, differing from traditional Hermitian systems.
In the narrow-wavepacket limit, conductivity depends on band dispersion, Berry curvature, and quantum metric.
The study predicts surface nonlinear conductivity in topological materials.
Future research may explore complex systems and advanced electronic device applications.
