Enhancement 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 کاملMagnetic and Magneto-Optical Properties of a Novel Ferromagnetic Semiconductor CdGeP2:Mn
Magnetic and magneto-optical properties were measured at room temperature in the Mn-diffused surface layer of a CdGeP2 single crystal. The magnetization curve measured using VSM clearly shows a ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with Hc=0.4 kOe superposed on the diamagnetic component. The ferromagnetic Curie temperature was determined as 320 K from the magnetization vs. temperature curve. The magnet...
متن کاملMagnetic Hysteresis Modelling Based on Magneto-optical Kerr Effect
The paper presents an identification method of the numerical Preisach hysteresis model, based on the digital acquisition and processing of the magnetic microstructure images, which are obtained by time-resolved magneto-optical microscopy. The statistic Preisach function is computed by the superposition of all pixels, allowing to verify the basic assumptions of Preisach hysteresis model from the...
متن کاملAnomalous magneto-optical Kerr hysteresis loops in Fe0.25TaS2
We have performed magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy measurements on intercalated transition-metal dichalcogenide Fe0.25TaS2 in the polar Kerr geometry as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and wavelength. The Kerr angle exhibits pronounced peaks at ∼775 nm (1.6 eV) and ∼515 nm (2.4 eV), which we attribute to spin-dependent interband optical transitions arising from states in the vicinit...
متن کاملKerr measurements on single-domain SrRuO3 thin films
We report on the magneto-optical measurements of an epitaxial SrRuO3 film grown on SrTiO3 s0 0 1d, which previously was determined to be single domain orientated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Our experiments reveal a large Kerr rotation, which reaches a maximum value of about 0.5° at low temperature. By measuring magnetic hysteresis loops at different temperatures, we ...
