We present a numerical simulation of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the $L_{2,3}$ edge of Mn in altermagnetic MnF$_2$ using a combination of density functional + exact diagonlization of an atomic model. We explore how the…

After a brief historical introduction, we dwell on two recent experiments in the low-temperature, monoclinic phase of V$_2$O$_3$: K-edge resonant x-ray scattering and non-reciprocal linear dichroism, whose interpretations are in conflict,…

We theoretically investigate the optical activity of three dimensional Dirac semimetals (DSMs) using circular dichroism (CD). We show that DSMs in the presence of a magnetic field in any one of the mirror-symmetric planes of the materials…

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the oxygen (O) $K$-edge were performed to investigate the magnetic polarization of ligand O atoms in the weak ferromagnetic (WFM) phase of the Ir…

Recent x-ray absorption experiments have demonstrated the possibility to accurately monitor the magnetism of metallic hetero-structures controlled via a time-independent perturbation caused for example by a static electric field. Using a…

Searches for violations of the fundamental symmetries of parity P and time reversal T in atomic and molecular systems provide a powerful tool for precise measurements of the physics of and beyond the standard model. In this work, we…

The magnetic properties of as-grown Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As have been investigated by the systematic measurements of temperature and magnetic field dependent soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The {\it intrinsic} XMCD intensity at…

We have observed a quadratic x-ray magneto-optical effect in near-normal incidence reflection at the M-edges of iron. The effect appears as the magnetically induced rotation of ca. 0.1$ degrees of the polarization plane of linearly…

Electrolyte-based transistors utilizing ionic liquids/gels have been highly successful in the study of charge-density-controlled phenomena, particularly in oxides. Experimental probes beyond transport have played a significant role, despite…

The calculations presented here reveal that an electron probe carrying orbital angular momentum is just a particular case of a wider class of electron beams that can be used to measure electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) with atomic…

As part of a general study of the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA), we here report calculations of optical activity of chiral molecules. The theory automatically satisfies sum rules and the Kramers-Kronig relation between…

Magneto optic measurements are a very powerful tool for investigating the polarization of a conduction band as a function of temperature and are used here to study the polarization of the mobile electrons in 50nm LSMO (x=0.3) strained thin…

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…

Circular dichroism (CD), induced by chirality, is an important tool for manipulating light or for characterizing morphology of molecules, proteins, crystals and nano-structures. CD is manifested over a wide size-range, from molecules to…

Working in the crystal-momentum representation, we calculate the optical conductivity of noncentrosymmetric insulating crystals at first order in the wave vector of light. The time-even part of this tensor describes natural optical activity…

We show that a double quantum-dot system made of diluted magnetic semiconductor behaves unlike usual molecules. In a semiconductor double quantum dot or in a diatomic molecule, the ground state of a single carrier is described by a…

Several optical experiments have shown that in magnetic materials the principal axes of response tensors can rotate in a magnetic field. Here we offer a microscopic explanation of this effect, and propose a closely related DC transport…

The magnetic toroidal monopole, a time-reversal-odd scalar, has attracted attention through its characteristic responses, such as electric-field-induced nonreciprocal directional dichroism observed in Co$_2$SiO$_4$. However, its evaluation…

Light polarization is one of the most fundamental features, equivalent to energy and coherence. Magnetism changes light polarization, and vice versa. The irradiation of intense circularly polarized femtosecond pules to magnetic materials…

Non-resonant X-ray magnetic scattering has been used to study the magnetic structure of multiferroic TbMnO3 in its ferroelectric phase. Circularly polarized X-rays were combined with a full polarization analysis of the scattered beam to…
