The optical and magneto-optical properties of ferromagnetic La(1-x)Ba(x)MnO(3) single crystals with x=0.15, 0.20 and 0.25 are studied. The components of the permittivity tensor are obtained by spectral ellipsometry techniques and transverse Kerr effect measurements. The Kerr effect spectra depend substantially on the Ba content. The plasma frequency is estimated. In the paramagnetic semiconductor state, the small polarons contribute to conductivity in La(0.85)Ba(0.15)MnO(3), in La(0.75)Ba(0.25)MnO(3) no evidence for polarons is found even in the semiconductor state. For La(0.85)Ba(0.15)MnO(3) (T(C)=214 K), the metallic phase is estimated to occupy less than 1% of the total volume at T=190 K. It is shown that in La(0.75)Ba(0.25)MnO(3), the energy gap vanishes and the metal-semiconductor transition occurs somewhat below T(C) rather than at T=T(C).

Achieving high-crystalline-quality, large-size iron garnet magneto-optic (MO) films on silicon substrates remains a critical challenge for CMOS-compatible on-chip non-reciprocal devices like isolators and circulators. In this study, we explored ion slicing on commercial yttrium iron garnet (YIG) crystals, bismuth-doped iron garnet (BIG), and newly developed YIG ceramics. After He ion implantation, wafer bonding and annealing, the BIG film on silicon was successfully fabricated, but its thickness and crystalline phase deviated from expectations.

In the burgeoning field of spintronics, antiferromagnetic materials (AFMs) are attracting significant attention for their potential to enable ultra-fast, energy-efficient devices. Thin films of AFMs are particularly promising for practical applications due to their compatibility with spin-orbit torque (SOT) mechanisms. However, studying these thin films presents challenges, primarily due to the weak signals they produce and the rapid dynamics driven by SOT, that are too fast for conventional electric transport or microwave techniques to capture.

Magneto-optical magnetic field/current sensors are based on the Faraday effect, which involves changing the polarized state of light. Polarimetric methods are therefore used for measuring polarization characteristics. Channeled polarimetry allows polarization information to be obtained from the analysis of the spectral domain.
