31. In Ref. [30], the term Faraday rotation is used for the predicted rotation associated with RIR, though it is not due to any magnetic field. Some authors distinguish the magnetic-field from otherwise induced rotations by using the notions of "paramagnetic" and "diamagnetic" Faraday effects [32]. Similarly as in the recent review [33], we reserve the notion of the Faraday effect for a specific narrow class of effects exclusively related to the presence of the magnetic field and prefer to use the term optical anisotropy for the broad class of cases where the rotation is not related to the magnetic field, as in the case discussed in this paper.
