Abstract
This paper reports the discovery of a gigantic magneto-optical (MO) response in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2, stemming from its topological electronic structure and intense Berry curvature. Low-energy MO spectroscopy and first-principles calculations reveal that interband transitions on nodal rings connected to Weyl points cause resonance in optical Hall conductivity, leading to a giant intrinsic anomalous Hall effect (AHE). Terahertz Faraday and infrared Kerr rotations are significantly enhanced by these resonances, showcasing a novel low-energy optical response characteristic of magnetic Weyl semimetals.
