Measurement of the infrared magneto-optic properties of thin-film metals and high temperature superconductors

چکیده
A sensitive polarization modulation technique uses photoelastic modulation and heterodyne detection to simultaneously measure the Faraday rotation and induced ellipticity in light transmitted by semiconducting and metallic samples. The frequencies measured are in the midinfrared and correspond to the spectral lines of a CO2 laser. The measured temperature range is continuous and extends from 35 to 330 K. Measured samples include GaAs and Si substrates, gold and copper films, and YBCO and BSCCO high temperature superconductors. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1619582#

Having precise hysterics loop of thin ferroelectric and ferromagnetic layers for optical switching and optical storages are important. A hysterieses loop can be achieved from a phenomenon call the magneto-optic effect. The magneto-optic effect is the rotation of a linear polarized electromagnetic wave propagated through a ferromagnetic medium. When light is transmitted through a layer of magnet...
متن کاملHydrophilicity of Silica Nano-Porous Thin Films: Calcination Temperature Effects
In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...

In this paper, ZnO thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. Presenting well-defined orientation of ZnO thin films Nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (MEA), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....
متن کاملA Technique for the Measurement of the Far-Infrared Radiative Properties of Metal and Superconducting Thin Films
The absolute accuracy of reflectance measurements performed using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has been limited by standard single-reflection techniques to ± 1% at best. This is primarily due to the photometric accuracy of the spectrometer and sample-positioning difficulties. Additionally, the absolute reflectance of the reference required for these techniques is typically no...
متن کاملAtomic Simulation of Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Thin Films
The molecular dynamic technique was used to simulate the nano-indentation test on the thin films of silver, titanium, aluminum and copper which were coated on the silicone substrate. The mechanical properties of the selected thin films were studied in terms of the temperature. The temperature was changed from 193 K to 793 K with an increment of 100 K. To investigate the effect of temperature on...
