The asymmetric magnetization reversal in exchange biased Fe/MnF$_{2}$ involves coherent (Stoner-Wohlfarth) magnetization rotation into an intermediate, stable state perpendicular to the applied field. We provide here experimentally tested…
Semiconducting oxides possess a variety of intriguing electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, and native defects play a crucial role in these systems. In this study, we study the influence of native defects on these properties of…
The nonlinear magneto-optical Kerr-effect (NOLIMOKE) is determined for freestanding Fe monolayers with several in-plane structures from first principles. Based on the theory of nonlinear magneto-optics by H\"ubner and Bennemann [Phys. Rev.…
Reflecting the fundamental interactions of polarized light with magnetic matter, magneto-optical effects are well known since more than a century. The emergence of these phenomena is commonly attributed to the interplay between exchange…
The magnetic properties and the electronic excitations of the new diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$(Zn$_{1-y}$Mn$_{y}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ have been studied by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and resonant inelastic x-ray…
We have performed a systematic magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy study of GaMnAs with varying Mn densities as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and photon energy. Unlike previous studies, the magnetization easy axis was…
We have measured the magneto-optical Kerr rotation of ferromagnetic $Eu_{1-x}Ca_{x}B_{6}$ with x=0.2 and 0.4, as well as of $YbB_{6}$ serving as the non-magnetic reference material. As previously for $EuB_{6}$, we could identify a feature…
First principles total-energy pseudopotential calculations have been performed to investigate STM images of the (110) cross-sectional surface of Mn-doped GaAs. We have considered configurations with Mn in interstitial positions in the…
Magneto-optical Kerr effect, normally found in magnetic materials with nonzero magnetization such as ferromagnets and ferrimagnets, has been known for more than a century. Here, using first-principles density functional theory, we…
Tetragonally distorted \(\rm{Mn}_{3-x}\rm{Ga}_x\) thin films with \(0.1< x < 2\) show a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and low magnetization and thus have the potential to serve as electrodes in spin transfer torque magnetic…
The optical conductivity of graphene, bilayer graphene, and graphite in quantizing magnetic fields is studied. Both dynamical conductivities, longitudinal and Hall's, are analytically evaluated. The conductivity peaks are explained in terms…
We investigate the current debate on the Mn valence in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N, a diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMSs) with a potentially high Curie temperature. From a first-principles Wannier-function analysis, we unambiguously find the Mn…
Using an ultra sensitive magneto-optical Kerr rotation setup we have observed electrical spin injection from (Zn,Mn)Se into bulk GaAs and quantified the spin injection efficiency. The current induced contribution was carefully separated…
Detailed theoretical study of the magneto-optical properties of weakly confining GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots is provided. We focus on the diamagnetic coefficient and the $g$-factor of the neutral and the charged excitonic states, respectively,…
We report on the photo-induced precession of the ferromagnetically coupled Mn spins in (Ga,Mn)As, which is observed even with no external magnetic field applied. We concentrate on various experimental aspects of the time-resolved…
We report the large polar magnetooptical Kerr effect in L10-MnxGa epitaxial films with giant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a wide composition range. The Kerr rotation was enhanced by a factor of up to 10 by decreasing Mn atomic…

It is shown that in polar geometry and normal incidence the 2x2 matrix technique - as discussed in detail in a preceeding paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 144448 (2002)] - accounts correctly for multiple reflections and optical interferences, and…
We report single-color, time resolved magneto-optical measurements in ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We demonstrate coherent optical control of the magnetization precession by applying two successive ultrashort laser pulses. The…
We have investigated the electronic structure of the dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) $Ga_{0.98}Mn_{0.02}P$ and compared it to that of an undoped $GaP$ reference sample, using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HXPS) and hard X-ray…
