Magneto-Opto Kerr Effect

Magneto-Opto Kerr Effect (MOKE) is a technique to investigate the magnetization structure of materials by the change in intensity and polarization of reflected light from the magnetized surface. MOKE is one of the magneto-optic effects. Kerr effect, investigating reflected light, is similar to the Faraday effect, which is to detect the transmitted light. Upon the direction of the magnetization vector with respect to the reflecting surface and the incident plane, there are polar MOKE, longitudinal MOKE, transversal MOKE, and quadratic MOKE. In addition, low-temp MOKE helps characterize superconductor/magnetic materials in terms of current density and magnetic flux distribution.
