Optical Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}(\omega)$ is measured from the Faraday rotation for a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction quantum Hall system in the terahertz frequency regime. The Faraday rotation angle ($\sim$ fine structure constant $\sim$…
We report the realization of near total Faraday rotation of $\theta_F$=1.43 rad (82 degrees) on a single pass through a 2D electron gas (2DEG), approaching the ideal limit of $\pi/2$ rad (90 degrees). The corresponding Verdet constant V =…
Time-resolved Faraday rotation studies of CdS/CdSe/CdS quantum-dot quantum wells have recently shown that the Faraday rotation angle exhibits several well-defined resonances as a function of probe energy close to the absorption edge. Here,…
We report {\it quantitative} microwave Faraday rotation measurements conducted with a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor heterostructure. In a magnetic field, the Hall effect and the Faraday…
Using THz spectroscopy in external magnetic fields we investigate the low-temperature charge dynamics of strained HgTe, a three dimensional topological insulator. From the Faraday rotation angle and ellipticity a complete characterization…
We review low and high field magnetotransport in 80 nm-thick strained HgTe, a material that belongs to the class of strong three-dimensional topological insulators. Utilizing a top gate, the Fermi level can be tuned from the valence band…
We measure the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas formed at a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction in the terahertz regime close to the cyclotron resonance frequency by employing a highly sensitive Faraday rotation method coupled…
We analyze the magneto-optical conductivity (and related magnitudes like transmittance and Faraday rotation of the irradiated polarized light) of some elemental two-dimensional Dirac materials of group IV (graphene analogues, buckled…
We report our investigation of the sample to sample fluctuation in transport properties of phase coherent normal metal-superconductor hybrid systems. Extensive numerical simulations were carried out for quasi-one dimensional and two…
We study transport properties of HgTe quantum wells with critical well thickness, where the band gap is closed, and the low energy spectrum is described by a single Dirac cone. In this work, we examined both macroscopic and micron-sized…
We study Faraday rotation in the quantum relativistic limit. Starting from the photon self-energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field the rotation of the polarization vector of a plane electromagnetic wave which travel along the…
We consider a two-dimensional gas of interacting fermions in presence of an external constant magnetic field: the system is extended and homogeneous, and thus assumed to be invariant under magnetic translations. Working within the…
We have studied helicity dependent photocurrent (HDP) in Bi-based Dirac semimetal thin films. HDP increases with film thickness before it saturates, changes its sign when the majority carrier type is changed from electrons to holes and…
Time-resolved Faraday rotation has recently demonstrated coherent transfer of electron spin between quantum dots coupled by conjugated molecules. Using a transfer Hamiltonian ansatz for the coupled quantum dots, we calculate the Faraday…
A quantum critical (QC) fluid exhibits universal subleading corrections to the area law of its entanglement entropies. In two dimensions when the partition involves a corner of angle $\theta$, the subleading term is logarithmic with…
The dynamical transport properties near the integer quantum Hall transition are investigated at zero temperature by means of the Dirac fermion approach. These properties have been studied experimentally at low frequency omega and low…
Graphene quantum dot with Maxwell fish eye potential energy profile is studied. A quasiclassical approximation is used given that potential energy is a slowly varying function of coordinates. Near the zero energy the spectrum of electron…
We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the static spin response in HgTe quantum wells, revealing distinctive behavior for the topologically nontrivial inverted structure. Most strikingly, the q=0 (long-wave-length) spin…
Electrodynamic responses from three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by the universal magnetoelectric $E\cdot B$ term constituent of the Lagrangian formalism. The quantized magnetoelectric coupling, which is…
Topological insulators have been proposed to be best characterized as bulk magnetoelectric materials that show response functions quantized in terms of fundamental physical constants. Here we lower the chemical potential of…
