Theory of optical axion electrodynamics and application to the Kerr effect in topological antiferromagnets

Electromagnetic response of topological materials is described the so called axion electrodynamics which contains additional relations between the fields. Here the authors extend the theory of axion electrodynamics to general optical frequencies and apply it to a realistic topological antiferromagne...
