▎ 摘  要

We present a rigorous and rather self-contained analysis of the Verdet constant in graphene-like materials. We apply the gauge-invariant magnetic perturbation theory to a nearest-neighbor tight-binding model and obtain a relatively simple and exactly computable formula for the Verdet constant, at all temperatures and all frequencies of sufficiently large absolute value. Moreover, for the standard nearest-neighbor tight-binding model of graphene we show that the transverse component of the conductivity tensor has an asymptotic Taylor expansion in the external magnetic field where all the coefficients of even powers are zero.
