Kerr effects in tilted multi-Weyl semimetals

Abstract

We calculate the optical conductivity of type-I and type-II multi-Weyl semimetals(m-WSMs) in time-reversal(TR) broken case at finite doping. It is found that both longitudinal and Hall conductivities are renormalized by J(monopole charge) perpendicular to Weyl nodes separation and longitudal conductivity along nodes has non-trivial dependence on J. The Kerr rotations in thin films and bulk have different dependence on system parameters. The Kerr rotation in ultra-thin films is independent of monopole charge J and depends only on Fermi velocity v F while in bulk it dependent on monopole charge J, Fermi velocity and material parameters.
