Nonmechanical beam deflectors, particularly acousto-optical and electro-optical deflectors, are being considered for the access and tracking functions of a magneto-optic recording head. In this report, the suitability of electro-optic deflectors for these functions is explored. For applications requiring modest deflection, electro.optic deflectors require less power and exhibit higher optical t...

We report a combined experimental-computational investigation of the electronic structure of CrO2. We have measured the magneto-optical Kerr spectra of CrO2 at 10 K and 300 K. At 10 K the Kerr signal is significantly enhanced over that obtained at 300 K. We compare the measured Kerr spectra to first-principles theoretical spectra, which we computed using three different approximations to the ex...

This work has constructed a model for the theoretical analysis of generalized magneto-optical transmission (GMOT) filters for any relative angle between the light beam and the applied magnetic field. This model was experimentally validated and shows good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimental spectra. In addition, the value of examining magneto-optical filters for ar...

The magneto-Archimedes separation allows for separating mixtures of feeble magnetic materials into its components based on the difference of their densities and magnetic susceptibilities. So far, this technique was applied for the separation of relatively large particles of several millimeters in diameter. Here we apply this technique experimentally to the simultaneous quantitative analysis of ...

Experimental and theoretical studies of light coupling to various magnetic nanostructured media and nanocomposites are briefly reported. Enhancement of the magneto-optical response is shown to occur when the constitutive materials of photonic crystals are magnetic. Transmission and reflection types of 1D magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) have been studied. New possibility to enhance the magneto-o...

Some remarks are made on how to determine by magneto-optical imaging the electric currents flowing in a superconductor. The inversion problem is discussed how to compute these currents from the magnetic field measured in a planar magneto-optical indicator film positioned close to the conductor. Next, some geometries are listed for which the currents and magnetic fields can be computed from firs...

We report on large modifications of current-induced spin-orbit torques in a gated Pt/Co/Gd-oxide microstrip due to voltage-driven O migration. The Slonczewski-like and field-like torques are quantified using a low-frequency harmonic technique based on the polar magneto-optical Kerr effect. Voltage-induced oxidation of Co enhances the Slonczewski-like torque by as much as an order of magnitude a...

Cable Tension Sensor Based on Magneto-elastic Effect Sun Zhiyuan Dept. of Instrument Development , Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Harbin. China Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT: This article introduces a sensor based on magneto-elastic effect in order to measure the axial tension of steel cable. We explained the basic principle of the sensor in detail, designed and analyzed the magneti...

In magneto-optical gratings the magnetic dipolar coupling superimposed on the electric dipolar one introduces nonreciprocity and spectral discrimination between circular polarization states, measured by a Zeeman-like splitting of the photonic Bragg resonances. In a nonlinear regime the degree of nonreciprocity is modified by the photoinduced interplay of these splittings and their Stark-like sh...
