The book is designed to provide graduate students and research novices with an introductory review of recent developments in the field of magneto-optics. The field encompasses many of the most important subjects in solid state physics, chemical physics and electronic engineering. The book deals with (1) optical spectroscopy of paramagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and ferromagnetic materials, (2) studies of photo-induced magnetism, and (3) their applications to opto-electronics. Many of these studies originate from those of ligand-field spectra of solids, which are considered to have contributed to advances in materials research for solid-state lasers.
This book deals with a class of materials, magneto-optical materials, which is important for opto-electronic and spectroscopic applications. One of the editors of this book, Prof. Sugano, is a pioneer of magneto-optics. Basics, applications and the state-of-art are presented.
This book will be the basic book on magneto-optics The editor, S. Sugano, and one of the authors, Y. Tanabe, are known as pioneers in the field of magneto-optics It presents the basics and a report on the state-of-the-art of magneto-optics
