▎ 摘  要

We study the optical properties of gapped graphene in the presence of a magnetic field. We consider a model based on the Dirac equation, with a gap introduced via a mass term, for which analytical expressions for the diagonal and Hall optical conductivities can be derived. We discuss the effect of the mass term on electron-hole symmetry and pi-pi* symmetry and its implications for the optical Hall conductivity. We compare these results with those obtained using a tight-binding model, in which the mass is modeled via a staggered potential and a magnetic field is included via a Peierls substitution. Considering antidot lattices as the source of the mass term, we focus on the limit where the mass term dominates the cyclotron energy. We find that a large gap quenches the effect of the magnetic field. The role of overlap between neighboring pi orbitals is investigated, and we find that the overlap has pronounced consequences for the optical Hall conductivity that are missed in the Dirac model.
