Magneto - optical effects in semimetallic Bi
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the results of infrared and magneto-optical spectroscopy study on electrodynamic response of bismuth doped with 1.5% of antimony. The spectra are presented for temperatures down to 4.2 K, and in magnetic fields as high as 18 T. The results reveal strong magneto-optical activity, similar to pure bismuth, however there are some differences introduced by antimony doping. Analysis of optical functions reveals that the two type of charge carriers respond differently to external magnetic field. Finally, when the system enters the extreme quantum regime, both the interand intraband Landau Level transition are observed in the spectra.

Structural and magneto-transport properties of electrodeposited bismuth nanowires
Arrays of semimetallic Bi nanowires have been successfully fabricated by electrodeposition. Each nanowire consists of elongated Bi grains along the wire direction. Very large positive magnetoresistance of 300% at low temperatures and 70% at room temperature with quasilinear field dependence has been observed. These features are desirable for wide-range field sensing applications. © 1998 America...
متن کاملProperties of Exchange Coupled All-garnet Magneto-Optic Thin Film Multilayer Structures
The effects of exchange coupling on magnetic switching properties of all-garnet multilayer thin film structures are investigated. All-garnet structures are fabricated by sandwiching a magneto-soft material of composition type Bi1.8Lu1.2Fe3.6Al1.4O12 or Bi₃Fe₅O12:Dy₂O₃ in between two magneto-hard garnet material layers of composition type Bi₂Dy₁Fe₄Ga₁O12 or Bi₂Dy₁Fe₄Ga₁O12:Bi₂O₃. The fabricated ...
متن کاملMagneto-optical properties of HgTe-CdTe superlattices.
We present a comprehensive theoretical formulation for magneto-optical properties in narrow-band-gap and zero-band-gap Hg Te-CdTe superlattices. It is found to be crucial that the details of the unique band structure be taken into account in full generality. Statistical factors also play a dominant role in the magneto-optical properties, since the location of the Fermi level determines which of...
متن کاملMagnetic anisotropic effects and electronic correlations in MnBi ferromagnet
The electronic structure and numerous magnetic properties of MnBi magnetic systems are investigated using local spin density approximation (LSDA) with on-cite Coulomb correlations (LSDA+U ) included. We show that the inclusion of Coulomb correlations provides a much better description of equilibrium magnetic moments on Mn atoms as well as the magnetic anisotropy energy behavior with temperature...
متن کاملMagneto-Optical properties of GaP single crystal
The temperature dependence of magneto-optical and magneto-photoconductivity measurements were carried out in the range of (200-330) K. A home made optical cryostat was used for the measurements. The measured room temperature value of the energy gap was found to be 2.211 eV. The temperature coefficient of energy gap was found to be -5.48×10-4 eV/K obtained by the optical absorption method and -4...
