Magneto-Optics of Cobalt and Nickel Nanoparticles Implanted in SiO2: Comparative Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

Co and Ni nanoparticles were fabricated in fused silica plates by ion implantation technique. Electron microscopy showed the nanoparticles to be of spherical shape. Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) was investigated in the spectral range 1.2 - 4.2 eV in a field of about 3 kOe. MCD spectra are considerably different from the spectra of thin nickel and cobalt films. MCD spectra for Ni nanoparticles are associated with surface plasmon resonance.
