Magnetooptical techniques are commonly used for thin and ultrathin magnetic film study. Fig. 3.1 shows results of interaction of linearly polarized light with perpendicularly magnetized film in : (i) the transmitted mode – Faraday effect; (ii) reflected mode – Kerr effect. We focus our analysis on Faraday effect application on thin magnetic films study. Fig. … Continue reading Magnetooptical study of thin films
