Gyrotropy-governed isofrequency surfaces and photonic spin in gyromagnetic media
In this paper, we have demonstrated a detailed study of Electromagnetic interaction with a biased gyromagnetic medium. Our key contributions in this paper are
For the first time, we categorized the topology classes of isofrequency surfaces and identified the connection between the evolution of the isofrequency surface topology with the gyrotropicity of the medium.
We revealed the relation between photonic-spin and the isofrequency topology.
The existence of cutoff-less waveguide modes is shown in the paper, owing to the hyperbolic isofrequency surface topology. This paves the way for extremely small guided structures.
A new type of cut-off for the waveguide mode is revealed, which we call gyrotropy-induced cut-off. This cut-off manifests as a result of interaction between the material-induced and structure-induced photonic spins.

Gyrotropy supported wave propagation in antiferromagnets
This work focuses on the impact of three diagonal permeability terms having independent variation with frequency in antiferromagnets. Our key contributions in this paper are
We classified the six propagation regimes corresponding to discrete isofrequency surface topologies in antiferromagnets. We also mentioned the regime boundaries.
We highlighted the special frequency regime, which allows propagation only because of a strong gyrotropic medium.
We show the photonic spin profile over the ellipsoidal isofrequency surface corresponding to this special regime.
In an antiferromagnet-filled waveguide, we show how extreme squinting of one of the photonic spin senses, which leads to an anomalous Poynting vector across the cross-section of the waveguide.
