Abstract
We present a theoretical framework to investigate quantum magnetotransport in monolayer jacutingaite, focusing on its response to external electric fields and off-resonant circularly polarized laser irradiation. Our analysis reveals a sequence of topological phase transitions triggered by tuning these external parameters. Applying a perpendicular magnetic field, we study Landau level (LL) formation, spin- and valley-polarized splitting, and magneto-optical response in distinct topological phases. We find that the zeroth LL exhibits spin- and valley-polarized splitting, leading to four distinct peaks in the DOSs for the and valleys. We demonstrate that reversing the electric field or flipping the light helicity changes the Dirac mass sign in specific spin-valley sectors, which in turn reverses both the Berry curvature and the magnetic moment. Our results reveal that external electric, magnetic, and off-resonant optical fields can control these conductivities. These findings highlight monolayer jacutingaite as a highly tunable platform with strong potential for future applications in photonics, optoelectronics, and topological quantum devices.
