It describes the changes to light reflected from a magnetized surface. It is used in materials science research in devices such as the Kerr microscope, to ... Geometries · Longitudinal MOKE · Transversal MOKE · Quadratic MOKE
The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) is widely used in research and industrial applications to assess the magnetic properties of materials, since in a first- ...
When linearly polarized light is reflected from the polished surface of a magnetized medium its polarization vector rotates and becomes somewhat elliptical.
The Kerr effect can be observed from the surface of a material that has no internal magnetization but is subject to an external magnetic field or from the ...
If the magnetization is normal to the reflection plane, it is called the polar Kerr effect as shown in (a). If the magnetization lies in a plane, two cases ... Introduction · Macroscopic and Microscopic... · Measurement Techniques of...
The magneto-optic Kerr effect is the focus of this paper. The application of the Kerr effect to study surface magnetism was introduced by Moog and Bader in 1985 ...
