Numerical Calculation of Kerr Spectra for Magnetic Multilayered and Granular Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, based on 4×4 matrix method, we present theoretical calculations of the polar magneto-optical Kerr effect for Co/Pt and MnBi multilayered films, and NixSiO2(1-x) granular films. The calculated results indicate that, (1) the simulated Kerr spectra as a function of photo-energy are in good agreement with experimental ones; (2) the maxima and the periodical and damped oscillation appear in the Kerr spectra curve with the magnetic thickness, which is important for design of the material in the future; (3) the structure of interfacial layer affect greatly the Kerr spectra, which is significant for the processing of magneto-optical material.
