Description
Lock-in amplifier technique is employed in this instrument and the modulation is performed with an optical modulator. Sample is mounted in the center of the magnet with its surface either parallel or perpendicular to the field. The supplied high field, variable gap, dipole electromagnet allows the user to apply large fields (approx. 20,000 Gauss at 10 mm pole gap) in a longitudinal or perpendicular geometry to study hard magnetic materials. HOLMARC MOKE LB215 is supplied with ORMS software. It can manage data collection and data manipulation fast and accurate.
The magneto-optical Kerr effect is a well established technique to study magnetization properties. The effect is based on the fact, that the plane of polarization of light is rotated when the light is reflected from a magnetic material. The physical origin of MOKE is the magnetic circular dichroism effect: exchange and spin-orbit coupling in a magnetic material lead to different absorption spectra for left- and right-circularly polarized light. Measuring the change of polarization of reflected beam (often referred to as Kerr angle θKerr) gives access to the magnetization state of the sample.
