Faraday rotation and MCD in Ce doped yig
Abstract
The room temperature spectra of the Faraday rotation and magnetic circular dichroism in a cerium doped yttrium iron garnet (Ce: YIG) are presented. A dramatic change of the magnetooptical properties due to the substitution of Ce observed in the near infrared and visible regions originates from a strong paramagnetic transition centered near 1.41 eV (0.88 μm).
