Magnetooptical properties of a ferromagnetic superlattice

Transmission and reflection of a normally incident wave from a magnetic superlattice consisting of 2N ferromagnetic layers with alternating orientation of the magnetization vector are considered. The characteristic matrix of a superlattice relating wave amplitudes at the entrance to the system and at the exit from it is calculated in the closed form and Jones matrices determining all the basic magnetooptical characteristics of the structure (transmission and reflection coefficients, the degree of polarization of transmitted and reflected waves, and so on) are constructed. A significant dependence of these characteristics on the number of layers is demonstrated.     

Noncomplanarity effects in the one-dimensional spin-dependent scattering

The scattering of a spin-polarized quantum wave on a potential barrier is investigated. The vectors of spin-polarization of incident wave and the internal magnetic field (magnetization) of the barrier are not generally located in the same plane and they form a noncomplanar system. The dependences of the polarization vectors of waves scattered forward and backward on the degrees of freedom determining the orientation of the barrier magnetization are investigated.     

sd-Exchange electron spin resonance in a ferromagnetic metal

The possibility of resonance absorption in the terahertz range caused by the sd-exchange interaction at the incidence of an electromagnetic wave on a ferromagnetic metal has been predicted. The absorption coefficient has been calculated. It has been shown that the resonance frequency is determined by the magnetization of a ferromagnet and the absorption coefficient additionally depends on the orientation of the magnetization with respect to the plane of polarization of the wave.     

Reflection and transmission of light by a ferromagnetic structure with a noncollinear orientation of the magnetization of layers

The transmission and reflection of light by a ferromagnetic structure with a noncollinear orientation of the magnetization vectors of layers lying in the plane of the film is considered. The characteristic matrix of the structure that relates the wave amplitudes at the entrance to the system and at the exit from it and that determines the magnetooptical properties of the structure is calculated. The magnetooptical characteristics of this structure are shown to significantly depend on the angle between the magnetization vectors of layers and on the number of layers. Both the magnitude and the character of these dependences are analyzed in relation to the angle of incidence and to the polarization of the incident wave. Such an analysis makes it possible to optimize the magnetooptical properties of this structure.

Spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of rare-earth overlayers on rare-earth and d-metal substrates

Spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy was applied for studies of electronic and magnetic structures of Eu/Gd and Ce/Fe. Ferromagnetic coupling of 4f moments of Eu and Gd was found in the 1 ML Eu/Gd(0 0 0 1) system with high net Eu magnetization at low temperatures reflected by a spin polarization of 15% of the Eu 4f state. In case of the 1 ML Ce/Fe(1 1 0) system the antiparallel orientation of the Ce 4f spins with respect to the magnetization direction of the Fe substrate was observed. Very different shapes of the spin-up and spin-down Ce 4f spectral weights can be explained within periodic Anderson model by spin-dependent hybridization between Ce localized 4f and itinerant valence band states.     

Double stimulated mandelstam-brillouin scattering of electromagnetic waves of arbitrary polarization in an isotropic plasma

We study the nonlinear interaction of a system of incident and reflected electromagnetic waves of arbitrary polarization, propagating in a quasihomogeneous plane layer of isotropic plasma obliquely to the boundary, with scattered electromagnetic waves. These waves are coupled in the double stimulated Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering by a common sound wave that is parallel to the layer boundary. We examine the influence of the wave polarization on the threshold intensity, instability growth rate, and characteristics of the stationary solution. It is found that the nonlinear interaction scales are different for waves of different polarization. In particular, this leads to a change of the wave polarization in the course of the interaction.

The interference enhancement of light polarization conversion from structures with a quantum well

The optical activity of crystals leads to the occurrence of ellipticity at the reflection of light which is linearly polarized in the interface plane or normally to it. The effect experimentally discovered in the investigated structures with quantum wells is due to a spin-orbit interaction and birefringence. The qualitative dependence of the effect on the change in the orientation of the linear polarization of the incident light has been revealed. A sharp increase in the degree of the polarization conversion in a narrow range of incidence angles for light polarized in the incidence plane has been detected. The latter is due to the influence of the interference of the reflected wave on the structure thickness.     

Electromagnetic modelling of 3D periodic structure containing magnetized or polarized ellipsoids

Coupling matrix and coupling coefficient concepts are applied to the interaction of an incident plane wave with a regular array of small magnetized or polarized ellipsoids, placed in a homogeneous surrounding medium. In general case, the angle of incidence and polarization of the plane wave upon an array of ellipsoids can be arbitrary. In this model, it is assumed that all the ellipsoids are the same, and the direction of their magnetization is also the same. The direction of magnetization is arbitrary with respect to the direction of the propagation of the incident wave and to the boundary plane between the first medium, where the incident wave comes from, and the array material under study. Any magnetized or polarized ellipsoid is represented as a system of three orthogonal elementary magnetic radiators (EMR) and/or three orthogonal elementary electric radiators (EER). Mutual interactions of individual radiators in the array through the incident plane wave and corresponding scattered electromagnetic fields are taken into account. The electrodynamic characteristics — reflection from the surface of the semi-infinite array (in particular, containing uniaxial hexagonal ferrite resonators), transmission through the array, and absorption are analyzed.     

Spin polarized field emission from Fe and Co-coated W tips

Spin polarized field emission from thin film Fe- and Co-coated W(001) and W(111) tips has been investigated. A transverse spin polarization component is detected in each case. For W(111) tips, the azimuthal orientation of polarization showed only a weak preference for the set of 〈1?10〉 and 〈112?〉 tip directions due to the competing influence of magnetocrystalline anisotropy and tip morphology on tip magnetization. On the contrary, the polarization direction for W(001) tips exhibited a strong preference for alignment with the transverse low-index crystallographic directions, i.e. the 〈110〉 for Co and 〈100〉 for Fe. Superparamagnetic fluctuations of the tip magnetization are evident in the polarization direction of emitted electrons when film coatings are very thin. At marginally larger thickness, long-term stability of the polarization magnitude and direction is observed at 300 K. A method for changing the stable spin polarization direction is also presented that exploits spontaneous flipping of the tip magnetization at elevated temperature.     

Effect of a dielectric film on the characteristics of an open Fabry-Perot resonator cavity

It is demonstrated that placing a thin dielectric film inside the cavity of an open Fabry-Perot resonator, at an angle to its axis, will remove the polarizational degeneracy of the principal TEM_q00 oscillation modes. Upon excitation of such a resonator cavity by a plane wave, the reflected electromagnetic field is in general elliptically polarized. The shape of the resonance curve depends on the thickness of that film, on its orientation inside the cavity, on the conditions under which the cavity has been excited, and on the conditions under which the reflected signal appears in the receiver. Changing the polarization plane of the incident plane wave does not result in a smooth variation of the resonator Q factor.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 21, No. 11, pp. 1648–1652, November, 1978.     

Linear Optic Response of a Noncollinear Magnetic System: Hydrodynamic Theory

A hydrodynamic theory of the linear response of a noncollinearly magnetized medium interacting with electromagnetic radiation has been developed. Linear and quadratic magnetization effects caused by the spatial inhomogeneity of the magnetic moment have been analyzed. Linear magnetization effects include an effect similar to nonreciprocal birefringence, as well as reciprocal and nonreciprocal rotation of the plane of polarization, caused by the inhomogeneity of the magnetic moment. It has been shown that an effect caused by the equilibrium spin current can appear in the considered medium. This effect is determined either by the inhomogeneity of the spin current or by the spatial dispersion of a wave. The effect associated with the spatial dispersion of the wave is linear in its wave vector and is similar to nonreciprocal birefringence. The effect associated with the inhomogeneity of the spin current describes the rotation of the plane of polarization, which, however, can occur in the system with zero average magnetization.

Magnetisation and remagnetisation peculiarities of Fe/Cr multilayer films caused by instability of Cr layers magnetic structure

A model to describe the magnetic properties of Fe/Cr/Fe films with nanometer-thick layers of Fe and Cr is proposed. The model rests on the assumption that there exists a magnetic order of the linearly polarized spin-density wave type in a chromium interlayer with thicknesses even less than its wavelength. This only assumption proved to be enough to describe the following characteristics, experimentally observed, of the magnetic properties of the multilayer Fe/Cr films: the existence of short and long periods, dependences of their magnetic properties on the chromium layer thickness, noncollinear orientation of the magnetizations of neighboring iron layers, the existence of the magnetization curves beyond the hysteresis loops of magnetization.
