The Faraday effect describes the phenomenon that a magnetized material can alter the
polarization state of transmitted light. Interestingly, unlike most light-matter interactions in …

Plasmonics allows light to be localized on length scales much shorter than its wavelength,
which makes it possible to integrate photonics and electronics on the nanoscale. Magneto …

Magnetoplasmonics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that studies the interaction
between magnetism and plasmonics, and has great promise for the development of novel …

The reciprocal interaction between spins and light has long been one of the main topics in
fundamental studies of magnetism. Recent developments of nanolitography and other …

We present in this work our current understanding on magnetoplasmonic structures, that is,
systems whose constituents exhibit simultaneously magnetic and plasmonic properties. We …

Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excitation effects on the magneto-optical (MO) activity of Au
capped Ag/Co/Ag trilayers are studied as a function of Co thickness. An enhancement of the …

We predict a significant enhancement of the magneto-optical transverse Kerr effect when a
smooth magnetic dielectric film is covered with a thin noble metal layer perforated with …

The magneto-optic (MO) characteristics and sensing performance of noble metal (Ag, Au,
Cu) or transition metal (Fe, Ni, Co) single layers and Ag/Co or Au/Co bilayers have been …

Sensitivity of a biosensor is one of the most important parameters that determines its
performance. It depends on many factors, such as excitation wavelength of incident optical …

The magneto-optical intensity effect (transversal Kerr effect) in a metal-dielectric periodic
heterostructure that consists of a metallic grating formed by subwavelength slits and a …
