Abstract
The optical properties of zigzag carbon nanotubes in magnetic fields are analyzed. Using a tight-binding model with nearest-neighbor interactions, general expressions are computed for the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the frequency dependent susceptibility in the presence of an axial magnetic field. The off-diagonal elements are applied to calculate the interband Faraday rotation and the Verdet constant. We predict that these effects should be clearly detectable under realistic conditions using weak magnetic fields.
