Non-reciprocal X-ray linear dichroism.

چکیده
Recently, a new optical effect was observed by Goulon, Rogalev, Goulon-Ginet, Benayoun, Paolasini, Brouder, Malgrange & Metcalf [Phys. Rev. Lett. (2000), 85, 4385-4388] using linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. The authors have correctly analysed the effect using the mathematical framework of Buckingham and Barron. A brief review is given with the underlying simplicity discussed from a symmetry point of view.

The information obtained is discussed for metallic and semiconducting systems, using both the X-ray magnetic...
متن کاملStudy of Non-reciprocal Dichroism in Photonic Structures
Non-reciprocal phenomena are widely used in photonic devices. Important applications such as isolators and circulator waveguide structures depend on non-reciprocal effects. The basis of these phenomena is a difference in phase or refractive index for an electromagnetic wave of a given polarization as it travels through a medium in opposite directions. Generally this applies to the real part of ...
متن کاملStrong magneto-chiral dichroism in a paramagnetic molecular helix observed by hard X-ray
Magneto-chiral dichroism (MχD) is a non-reciprocal, i. e. directional, effect observed in magnetised chiral systems featuring an unbalanced absorption of unpolarised light depending on the direction of the magnetisation. Despite the fundamental interest in a phenomenon breaking both parity and time reversal symmetries, MχD is one of the least investigated aspects of light-matter interaction bec...

We report a first principles, self-consistent, all electron, linear combination of Gaussian orbitals (LCGO) calculation of a comprehensive collection of magneto-optical properties of nickel and iron based on density functional theory. Among the many magneto-optical effects, we have studied the equatorial Kerr effect for absorption in the optical as well as soft X-ray region, where it is called ...
