On the Possible Existence of a Quantum Linear Voigt Effect in Planar Magnetic Materials at Low Temperatures

This paper outlines a simple theoretical argument for the possibility of a quantum linear Voigt effect at low temperatures in certain media in the optical regime. An unlikely starting point for the ensuing argument arises out of a long-established hydrodynamic Lorentz field-modified classical dispersion theory whose Voigt component of the optical conductivity, when subjected to the Uncertainty Principle, results in a modified form in the quantum region. In contrast to its classical, second-order counterpart, this quantum Voigt conductivity is shown to have a (modular) linear field dependence.
