Whereas most studies have focused on above-bandgap high-order harmonics, which are usually interpreted through short electron-hole trajectories that recombine within one optical cycle, the microscopic origin of low-order emission near the bandgap remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate near-bandgap harmonic generation in ZnO by combining semiconductor Bloch equations with a complex-time quantum-trajectory analysis. Our results indicate that these harmonics are not a continuation of the short trajectory. Rather, they originate from multiple-scattering trajectories, in which the electron-hole pair undergoes repeated Bragg scattering at the Brillouin-zone boundary and electron-hole reencounter near the\r\n \r\n Γ\r\n \r\n point before the actual recombination occurs. We identify that the imaginary part of the electron-hole displacement provides a practical diagnostic of the residual tunneling memory. Real-space electron-hole overlap alone does not imply coherent recombination unless the full complex displacement vanishes. These results clarify the microscopic picture of near-bandgap harmonic emission in ZnO and offer a framework for interpreting phase-resolved strong-field dynamics in solids.\r\n "}],"issue":"3","publication":"Physical Review Research","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"170"},{"_id":"293"},{"_id":"230"},{"_id":"623"}],"date_created":"2026-09-15T06:50:14Z","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2026-09-15T06:51:05Z","intvolume":" 8","year":"2026","title":"Near-bandgap harmonic generation in solids from multiple scattering revealed by complex quantum trajectories","author":[{"first_name":"Xunqin","last_name":"Huo","full_name":"Huo, Xunqin"},{"full_name":"Liu, Xiwang","first_name":"Xiwang","last_name":"Liu"},{"first_name":"Shidong","last_name":"Yang","full_name":"Yang, Shidong"},{"first_name":"Xiaohong","last_name":"Song","full_name":"Song, Xiaohong"},{"id":"344","last_name":"Meier","first_name":"Torsten","orcid":"0000-0001-8864-2072","full_name":"Meier, Torsten"},{"full_name":"Yang, Weifeng","last_name":"Yang","first_name":"Weifeng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2643-1564"]},"doi":"10.1103/l939-jglf","article_number":"033303","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
