Polar Kerr Effect and Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Bilayer Graphene

The unique sensitivity of optical response to different types of symmetry breaking can be used to detect and identify spontaneously ordered many-body states in bilayer graphene. We predict a strong response at optical frequencies, sensitive to electronic phenomena at low energies, which arises becau...
