Optimization of magneto-optical Kerr setup: analyzing experimental assemblies using Jones matrix formalism.
We present a comparative study on an experimental and theoretical optimization of magneto-optical Kerr setups based on photoelastic modulation and phase sensitive detector methodology. The first and second harmonics, I omega,2 omega, of the reflected light intensity are measured for a CoO/Co magnetic reference film. The magnetic field dependence of the optical off-diagonal Fresnel reflection co...
متن کاملDevelopments in surface magneto-optical Kerr effect setup for ultrahigh vacuum analysis of magnetic ultrathin films
We describe a surface magneto-optical Kerr effect sSMOKEd setup designed to study the magnetic properties of ultrathin films in ultrahigh vacuum sUHVd. As in earlier systems, a crossed-poles electromagnet is used, which allows measurements in the longitudinal or polar configurations to be carried out without displacing the sample or changing the optical path. The poles are mounted in-vacuum, wh...
متن کاملBenchtop time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr magnetometer.
We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by ...
متن کاملEnhancement of the Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in One- Dimensional Magnetophotonic Crystals with Adjustable Spatial Configuration
We studied magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) with introduced magneticdefect layer sandwiched between magnetic and dielectric Bragg mirrors. Thesemagnetophotonic crystals have excellent capabilities to enhance reflection and Kerrrotation simultaneously. By adjusting spatial configuration such as repetition numbersof Bragg mirrors and thickness of magnetic defect layer, we a...
متن کاملMAGNETO-OPTICAL KERR EFFECTS OF AMORPHOUS Nd-Co FILMS
The complex off-diagonal components of conductivity tensor (g:, = 4, + i<,) of Co, a-Nd-Co and a-Y-Co was obtained by measuring magneto-optical Kerr effects, reflectivity and transmissivity in the range of fw = 0.8 eV 5eV. Nd-Co showed much greater wcr;, than Y-Co and the difference was deduced to be due to 4f T--t 5d 1. electron transition of Nd.
