  • (Fe, Co)/(Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag)로 이루어진 금속 다층박막에 대한 자기광학 Kerr 효과(${\theta}_{k}$) 스펙트럼을 박막내에서 빛의 다중간섭 이론을 적용하여 계산하였고, 그 결과를 보고된 실험값과 비교하였다. Co/Pd 다층막의 경우, ${\theta}_{k}$ 스펙트럼의 조성에 따른 파장 의존성에 대한 계산값이 서로 잘 일치하였으며, Fe/Cu 및 Fe/Ag 다층막에 있어서는 Cu와 Ag의 광흡수단 영역에서 다층막 고유의 새로운 peak가 나타나는 실험현상을 계산결과로 설명이 가능하였다. 그러나 Co/Pt 다층막의 경우에는 실험으로 측정된 300 nm파장 영역에서의 거대한 자기 광학 효과를 다중간섭이론으로는 설명할 수 없었으며, 이는 Co 또는 Pt 고유의 광학정수가 다층막을 이루면서 변화되어 나타나는 현상으로 생각된다.

  • Although the rotation angle and its spectrum of the magneto-optical Kerr effect are physical quantities determined inherently by the material itself, we found that they can widely be designed by utilizing a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a ferromagnetic defect layer. By suitable choice of the film structure, the rotation angle at a designated narrow wavelength is resonantly enhanced up to as several hundred times larger as ordinary rotation angle of the magnetic. This is originated by the localization of light at the magnetic layer inside the film.

  • In this study, a MOKE (Magneto-optical Kerr effect) measurement method for magnetic nanostructures is proposed. Theoretically, the MOKE signal enhancement can be predicted and confirmed when an anti-reflection coated substrate is used. Since MOKE is a ratio of reflectivity and the difference between the reflectivities for two magnetic states, when the reflectivity of the substrate part is reduced by employing an anti-reflection coated substrate, MOKE signal enhancement can be achieved. The enhancement is confirmed by simple numerical MOKE calculations. When the reflectivity of an anti-reflection coated substrate is 0.7%, the calculated MOKE signal is about 79% of its bulk values for the 100-nm wide Fe nanowire with a 1500-nm radius laser beam. It was found that, for various numerical calculations, a larger MOKE signal is obtained relative to a smaller substrate reflectivity.

  • Herein, the Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE) signal enhancement in nanostructures in investigated. It is well known that the MOKE signals of ferromagnetic thin films are enhanced with an additional dielectric layer due to multiple reflections. The MOKE signal is modulated with the additional dielectric layer thickness and is at a maximum when reflectivity is at a minimum. This is not always true in the nanostructures due to the contribution from the non-magnetic substrate portion, especially when substrate reflectivity is minimized and the dependence of the additional dielectric layer thickness for the nanostructure is changed in the case of the continuous thin film. We showed that the MOKE signal for nanostructures could be enhanced with a properly designed, dielectric layer in addition to the anti-reflection coated substrates.

  • Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of Fe/Pt/Fe, Co/Pd/Co trilayers and also the sandwiches with wedge-shaped magnetic (Fe, Co) and nonmagnetic (Pt, Pd) layers were investigated. The oscillatory behavior of the saturation field $H_{s}$ of the studied trilayers with changing the thickness of the nonmagnetic layer (NML) $t_{NML}$ was revealed. That was explained by the exchange coupling between ferromagnetic layers (FML) through the nonmagnetic spacer. For the first time, oscillations of the transverse Kerr effect (TKE) with changing the Pt- and Pd-wedge thickness were discovered. Period of these oscillations was found to depend on the FML thickness and the photon energy of the incident light. TKE spectra of the examined samples were discovered to modify very strongly with increasing $t_{NML}$. The discovered peculiarities of magneto-optical properties of thin-film systems were explained by a concept of the spin-polarized quantum well states in the pt and Pd layers.

  • 비정질 RE-Co(RE=Ce, Nd, Pr, Gd, Tb, Er, Ho) 합금막의 자기광학 스펙트럼(${\lambda}=250~700nm$)을 Y-Co의 그것과 비교하여 RE 부격자에 의한 자기광학효과를 추정하였다. RE에 의한 자기광학효과는 단파장 영역에서 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났으며, Ce, Pr, Nd 및 Gd은 Co의 자기광학효과에 더해지는 방향으로 일어나고, Tb, Ho 및 Er은 Co와 반대방향으로 일어난다. 자기광학 천이 모델에 의하면, Pr과 Nd은 $4f{\uparrow}->5d{\uparrow}$, Ce과 Gd은 d->p, Tb은 $4f{\downarrow}->5d{\downarrow}$ 또는 $5d{\downarrow}->4f{\downarrow}$ 그리고 Ho과 Er은 $4f{\downarrow}->5d{\downarrow}$ 밴드간 천이에 의한 것으로 각각의 자기광학횬과를 설명할 수 있다.
