We apply a microscopic theory of polarization and magnetization to crystalline insulators at zero temperature and consider the orbital electronic contribution of the linear response to spatially varying, time-dependent electromagnetic…
Magneto-optical response, i.e. optical response in the presence of a magnetic field, is commonly used for characterization of materials and in optical communications. However, quantum mechanical description of electric and magnetic fields…
Magnetoelectric responses are a fundamental characteristic of materials that break time-reversal and inversion symmetries (notably multiferroics) and, remarkably, of "topological insulators" in which those symmetries are unbroken. Previous…
Magnetoelectric materials have the interesting property of exhibiting polarization induced by a magnetic field or magnetization induced by an electric field. As a consequence, a multitude of effects can be produced by means of controllable…
The consequences of several microscopic interactions on the photoemission spectra of crystalline organic semiconductors (OSC) are studied theoretically. It is argued that their relative roles can be disentangled by analyzing both their…
The magneto-optical longitudinal, transverse Hall and circularly-polarized response of silicene and other materials described by a Kane-Mele Hamiltonian are calculated. Particular attention is paid to the effects of an external electric…
Natural optical activity is the paradigmatic example of an effect originating in the weak spatial inhomogeneity of the electromagnetic field on the atomic scale. In molecules, such effects are well described by the multipole theory of…
We study the effects of spatial dispersion in disordered noncentrosymmetric metals. These include the kinetic magnetoelectric effect, natural optical activity of metals, as well as the so-called dynamic chiral magnetic effect as a…
The orbital motion of electrons in a three-dimensional solid can generate a pseudoscalar magnetoelectric coupling $\theta$, a fact we derive for the single-particle case using a recent theory of polarization in weakly inhomogeneous…
We extend a microscopic theory of polarization and magnetization to include the spin degree of freedom of the electrons, introducing a general spin orbit coupling and Zeeman interaction term in the Hamiltonian. At finite frequencies and…
We extend a field theoretic approach for the investigation of the electronic charge-current density response of crystalline systems to arbitrary applied electromagnetic fields. The approach leads to the introduction of microscopic…
We study the effect of spatial dispersion of crystal modes on optical properties such as the reflectivity $R$. As an example for isotropic media, we investigate the simplest model for phonons in ionic crystals and compare with previous…
A general symmetry analysis of the optical conductivity or scattering tensor is used to rewrite the conductivity tensor as a sum of fundamental spectra multiplied by simple functions depending on the local magnetization direction. Using…
The theory of electromagnetic in nature new component of electrical current is suggested. In classical physics approximations for the cases of the free electron plasmas in semi-conductive media, the atom or molecular electrons of liquids…
Within the framework of independent particle approximation, the optical activity tensor of solids is formulated as from different contributions: the magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and band dispersion terms. The first two terms have…
We examine a dielectric medium supporting a magnetic current in connection with optical properties and energy propagation. The dispersion relations, propagating modes, and some optical effects are examined for isotropic and anisotropic…
The dispersive propagation and absorption in the domain of a Drude-Lorentz dielectric modified by a magnetic current are classically investigated, taking as the starting point the Drude electric permittivity, in connection with the chiral…
The problem of determining the effective conductivity tensor of a magnetoactive turbulent plasma is considered in the approximation of isolated particles. Additional gyrotropicterms are shown to appear in the conductivity tensor in the…
In crystal optics the special status of the rest frame of the crystal means that space-time symmetry is less restrictive of electrodynamic phenomena than it is of static electromagnetic effects. A relativistic justification for this claim…
We explore the electrodynamic coupling between a plane wave and an infinite two-dimensional periodic lattice of magneto-electric point scatterers, deriving a semi-analytical theory with consistent treatment of radiation damping,…
