Magneto-optical effects in the Landau level manifold of 2D lattices with spin-orbit interaction
Silicene is a competitive and promising 2D material, possessing interesting topological, electronic and optical properties. The presence of strong spin orbit interaction in silicene and its analogues, germanene and tinene, leads to the opening of a gap in the energy spectrum and spin-splitting of the bands in each valley. We develop a general method to determine the magneto-optic response of silicene, when a Gaussian beam is incident on silicene grown on a dielectric substrate in the presence of a static magnetic field. We use a semiclassical treatment of silicene monolayer to describe the Faraday rotation (FR) and Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) using a general model for beam propagation. The response can be modulated both electrically and magnetically. We derive analytic expressions for valley and spin polarized FR and MOKE for arbitrary polarization of incident light in the terahertz regime. We demonstrate that large FR and MOKE can be achieved by tuning the electric field, magnetic fields and chemical potential in these fascinating 2D materials. Implications for novel valleytronic experiments are also discussed

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
