Abstract:
The magneto-optical effects are known as an indispensable tool for studying condensed matter physics in quantum materials. In the past, attention has been paid to the linear magneto-optical effects such as Faraday rotation, Kerr rotation, and magnetic circular dichroism. In this talk, I will introduce the nonlinear magneto-optical effect based on the optical second harmonic generation (SHG). In 2019, we found the layered anti-ferromagnetism in CrI3 bilayer leads to a giant nonreciprocal magnetic SHG [Nature 572, 497 (2019)]. Here I will report our latest studies that utilize this powerful effect to elucidate a series of novel magnetic phenomena in 2D magnetic semiconductors, including the magnetic polymorphism and layer-sharing effect [Nat. Mater. 24, 226 (2025)], charge transfer governed interlayer magnetic coupling and symmetry breaking [Nat. Commun. 16, 9498 (2025)], and interlayer-locked antiferromagnetic switching [Nature 650, 340 (2026)].
