- Summary:
- In this paper, using symmetry arguments and a tight-binding model, we show that for layered collinear antiferromagnets, magneto-optic effects can be generated and manipulated by controlling crystal symmetries through a gate voltage. This provides a promising route for electric field manipulation of the magneto-optic effects without modifying the underlying magnetic structure. We further demonstrate the gate control of the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) in bilayer MnPSe3 using first-principles calculations. Finally, the field-induced inversion symmetry breaking effect leads to gate-controllable MOKE, whose direction of rotation can be switched by the reversal of the gate voltage.
