Theoretical studies of magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday effects in two-dimensional second-order topological insulators

Abstract Optical approaches are useful for studying the electronic and spin structure of materials. Here, based on the tight-binding model and linear response theory, we investigate the magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday effects in two-dimensional second-order topological insulators (SOTI) with extern...
