Quadratic magneto-optical Kerr effect in Co2MnSi

Journal of Applied Physics, 2011
Quadratic magneto-optical Kerr effects (QMOKE) are investigated in epitaxial Co2MnSi thin films as a function of the post-deposition annealing temperature. We determine the amplitude of the QMOKE signal for different annealing temperatures, which provide various degrees of L21 crystal ordering, as manifested by X-ray diffraction.

Surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE)

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 1999
The purpose of this article is to stimulate interest in the power of the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) technique to address a range of contemporary issues associated with the physics of interfacial magnetic materials. Magneto-optics is introduced from both historical and modern perspectives.

Magneto-optic Kerr effect in a slab waveguide

Journal of Applied Physics, 2001
A theoretical and numerical investigation of the magneto-optic Kerr effect in a slab optical waveguide bounded on one side by a thin magnetic film is considered. The output power has been determined as a function of the input polarization angle, output analyzer angle, thickness of the intermediate cladding layer, and the length of the magnetic film. It

Magneto-optics and the Kerr Effect with Ferromagnetic Materials

2010
As implied by its name, magneto-optics embraces all activities that concern the interaction of light with a magnetic material. A vast range of substances can be accessed for such investigations, and insulating materials such as YIG (yttrium iron garnet) are popular for isolator applications. It is metallic materials, however, that are discussed in this

What is the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect?

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2016
Abstract We explore the commonly used classification scheme for the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), which essentially utilizes a dual definition based simultaneously on the Cartesian coordinate components of the magnetization vector with respect to the plane of incidence reference frame and specific elements of the reflection ...

Theory of the magneto-optic kerr-effect in NiUSn

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 1988
Abstract An ab initio calculation of the electronic structure, optical conductivity and magneto-optic Kerr-effect is reported for the C 1 b phase compound NiUSn. Full relativistic spin-orbit interaction and spin polarization have been incorporated.

Magneto-optical Kerr effect in Pr monopnictides

Physical Review B, 2003
The electronic and magneto-optical properties of Pr monopnictides have been studied from the self-consistent electronic structure calculation employing full potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. The local spin density approximation along with on site Coulomb interaction (LDA+U) is used for electronic structure calculation.

Non-specular magneto-optical Kerr effect

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 1995
Abstract A grating coated with a magnetic film is illuminated by a laser beam and produces Bragg-diffracted beams. The non-zero-order beams, leaving the specimen, feature the magneto-optical Kerr effect just as well as the zero-order specular one.
