Magneto-optical Kerr effects of yttrium-iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles.

چکیده
We report an experimental study on magneto-optical (MO) Kerr effects of yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) thin films incorporating Au nanoparticles. The polar MO Kerr spectra in the wavelength between 400 and 800 nm show that, by incorporating the Au nanoparticles, Kerr rotation angles become negative values in the region, where the localized surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance of the Au nanoparticles is located. The anomalous Kerr rotation indicates a possible coupling between the MO Kerr effect of YIG and the SPP. A mechanism for the coupling is discussed.

We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...

Magnetization-induced optical third-harmonic generation (MTHG) is observed in magnetic nanos-tructures: Co and F e nanolayers and granular films containing Co nanoparticles. Magnetization-induced variations of the MTHG characteristics in these nanostructures exceed the typical values of linear magneto-optical Kerr effect by at least an order of magnitude: the maximum of magnetic contrast in the...

متن کاملMagneto-Optical Faraday Effect of YIG Films with Random Multilayer Structures
Magneto-optical Faraday effect of Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi:YIG) films with random multilayer structures was analyzed by using the random matrix approach. It was found that the random multilayer structure is very effective for enhancing the Faraday effect of the Bi:YIG film, which is much superior than that of the periodic multilayer films.
