Nonlinear magneto-optical effect in Fe/Au superlattices modulated by noninteger atomic layers

Abstract: Magnetic second harmonic generation (MSHG) signals from the Fe/Au superlattices grown on MgO (100) substrate have been investigated. The measurements were carried out in the longitudinal Kerr geometry with a 45° incidence. The magnetic field of ±0.2 T was applied to provide a magnetic saturation. The polar plot of azimuth dependence of the MSHG intensity showed a four-fold symmetry pattern similar to that observed in Fe/Au superlattices modulated by integer atomic layers. Azimuthal patterns show 45° rotation b… Show more

“…In conclusion, the nonlinear magneto-plasmonics offers a strong enhancement of the magnetization-induced effects as compared to its linear counterpart. In the given spectral range one would expect to reach further enhancement of mSHG contrast by systematically varying the individual thicknesses in this multilayer structure along the lines discussed in [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76].…”

“…Since the scattering plane is fixed with respect to the sample, this method enables access to only a limited number of the tensor components of the nonlinear optical polarizability. In the second method, [18][19][20][21] the sample is rotated while the beam and detector are spatially fixed and investigations into all the tensor components become possible. However, its application to the samples in nonambient conditions such as cryogenic, high magnetic and ultra-high vacuum is limited 18,19 because it is generally difficult to rotate the sample precisely therein.…”

“…Artificial structures of an atomic scale, consisting of alternating thin magnetic and nonmagnetic layers have been attracting significant interest due to their novel physical properties, and intensely been studied during the last years [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The nonlinear magneto-optical technique has been proven to be a powerful tool for the investigation of thin and ultra-thin films and layered structures due to its high sensitivity to magnetic ordering, surface and interface sensitivity caused by the inversion symmetry breaking [7,8].…”

“…Recently, considerable attention has been paid to the investigation of nonlinear magneto-optical effects for various magnetic materials, especially thin magnetic films and multilayered structures [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The nonlinear magnetooptical Kerr effect (NOLIMOKE) combines surface and interface sensitivity with large magneto-optical effects which usually are about one to two orders of magnitude larger than their linear analogues [1,7,9]. This fact makes magnetically induced second harmonic generation (MSHG) a very attractive method for the probing of surface and interface magnetism of ultrathin magnetic films, multilayers, and superlattices [5,6,[11][12][13]18], especially where the linear Kerr rotation is vanishingly small.…”
