11. This correlation is also the cause of various photogalvanic effects in gyrotropic crystals and in low dimensional structures. The photocurrent due to correlation of angular momentum and momentum of holes was studied in E. L. Ivchenko and G. E. Pikus, (Zh. Eksp. Teor. Pisma Fiz. 27, 640 (1978) [JETP Lett. 27, 604 (1978)].
