The observation of magnetic domains by magneto-optical microscopy, based on the Kerr
and the Faraday effect, is one of the most prominent techniques for the visualization of …

Nanostructured magnetic materials provide an efficient tool for light manipulation on sub-
nanosecond and sub-micron scales, and allow for the observation of the novel effects which …

An advanced wide-field Kerr microscopy and magnetometry approach for the investigation
of magnetic anisotropy in magnetic films is demonstrated. We have analytically analysed the …

The magnetoresistance (MR) effect is widely used in technologies that pervade the world,
from magnetic reading heads to sensors. Diverse contributions to MR, such as anisotropic …

We have experimentally studied the accuracy of the Jones-type reflection matrix R that
describes light reflection from a magnetic sample exhibiting the magneto-optical (MO) Kerr …

The crystal structural quality and the strain induced by the substrate strictly impose the
magnetic and transport properties of La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (LSMO) films. In particular, the …

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of an implantable neural interface
based on anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) magnetic-field sensors that combine reduced …

A quadratic magneto-optical Kerr effect (QMOKE) of exceptionally high value, strong polar
and longitudinal linear Kerr effects have been demonstrated in thin films of ferromagnetic …

The THz Kerr effect measures the birefringence induced in an otherwise isotropic material
by a strong THz pulse driving the Raman-active excitations of the systems. Here we provide …

Abstract The Stoner-Wohlfarth (SW) model is the simplest model that describes adequately
the magnetization reversal of nanoscale systems that are small enough to contain single …
