Recent progress in magneto-optics and research on its application

Various kinds of magneto-optical properties are investigated in rare earth orthochromites. From an analysis of Cr³⁺ exciton absorption in RCrO₃ (R=Tb, Dy, and Ho), it is unferred that these compounds exhibit an anomalous spin-reorientation in a magnetic field along the b axis, where the weak ferroma...

Various kinds of magneto-optical properties are investigated in rare earth orthochromites. From an analysis of Cr³⁺ exciton absorption in RCrO₃ (R=Tb, Dy, and Ho), it is unferred that these compounds exhibit an anomalous spin-reorientation in a magnetic field along the b axis, where the weak ferromagnetic moment of the Cr³⁺ spins rotates in the ac plane perpendicular to the b axis. In these compounds, when the R³⁺ spin configuration is disordered, an anomalous satellite band appears on the lower-energy side of the Cr³⁺ exciton absorption, which is associated with the breakdown of the k=0 selection rule due to the disorder of the R³⁺ spin configuration. In YbCrO₃, various kinds of cooperative excitations, such as a Cr³⁺ exciton coupled with an Yb³⁺ magnon and a Cr³⁺−Yb³⁺ exciton molecule, which are induced by the antisymmetric exchange interaction between the Cr³⁺ and Yb³⁺ spins, appear in the visible region. The propagation of these cooperative excitations depends strongly on the spin structure and the external magnetic field. In ErCrO₃, a photo-induced spin-reorientation takes place within 50 μs after the photo-irradiation corresponding to the ⁴A2g→²Eg transition of Cr³⁺, and it returns to the initial spin configuration in about 400 ms. This phenomenon is detected in the time-resolved Er³⁺ absorption spectra corresponding to the ⁴I₁₅/₂→⁴I₉/₂ transition. Finally, we briefly review the recent frontier research on applications developed mainly in Japan.
The authors would like to thank many scientists who have given us an opportunity and collaborated with us for a long time of our recent work. Some of them are S. Sugano, I. Tsujikawa, K. Aoyagi, H. Kamimura, W. M. Yen, T. Tamaki, N. Watanabe, J. Dillon Jr., K. V. Rao, P. L. Richards, M. Pardavi-Horvath, and H. Szymczak V. V. Eremenko is undoubtedly to be specially cited as an exclusively intimate physicist among those. The authors also would like to express to thank many other younger research colleagues for a pleasant collaboration in many subjects in many occasions. This work was partly supported by the Science and Technical Research Laboratories of Japan broadcasting Corporation, and a Grant-in Aid for Science Research from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture.
