Decrypting the cyclotron effect in graphite using Kerr rotation spectroscopy
arXiv:1110.2754 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2012.04.036
Abstract
We measure the far-infrared magneto-optical Kerr rotation and reflectivity spectra in graphite and achieve a highly accurate unified microscopic description of all data in a broad range of magnetic fields by taking rigorously the c-axis band dispersion and the trigonal warping into account. We find that the second- and the forth-order cyclotron harmonics are optically almost as strong as the fundamental resonance even at high fields. They must play, therefore, a major role in magneto-optical and magneto-plasmonic applications based on Bernal stacked graphite and multilayer graphene.
