摘要
We develop a theory for the Higgs (gap-amplitude) mode excitation in electric-field-induced (EFI) superconductors. The Higgs mode can be excited directly by an oscillating electric field in EFI superconductors since the gap value depends sensitively on the external electric field that induces superconducting carriers. The mass of the Higgs mode in EFI superconductors does not coincide with the threshold energy of pair-breaking two-particle excitations.
