Abstract
A dissipationless longitudinal current can be generated by a pure magnetic field through the chiral magnetic effect. Herein, we propose that a pure oscillating magnetic field through Zeeman coupling can further drive an AC magnetic Hall current in two-dimensional systems without inversion symmetry. We dub this effect the "gyrotropic magnetic Hall effect" (GMHE), in analogy with the gyrotropic current achieved by rectifying the optical fields. Importantly, we find that the GMHE conductivity is a reactive or dissipationless transport coefficient, which is even under time-reversal symmetry. We reveal the "Zeeman Berry curvature" as the quantum origin of the GMHE, whose integral over all states below the Fermi energy gives the GMHE conductivity. Furthermore, by symmetry analysis, we show that the GMHE can appear in a wide range of two-dimensional materials. To demonstrate our proposal, we evaluate the GMHE current in two-dimensional Rashba system and in the surface of topological insulator, where a low-frequency magnetic field with a small amplitude can be converted into a detectable Hall voltage.
