Investigation of the magnetic properties of two-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) based on silicon films covered by a Co layer several nanometers thick and a Cr layer several tens of nanometers thick indicated quasiperiodic variation of the magnetic properties of the system while interacting with electromagnetic radiation. Oscillations discov-ered of angular dependence of the transverse magneto-optic Kerr effect are connected with resonant condition when a standing (stationary) wave is formed in a magnetic film. This wave activates the rotation of spins in the system and thereby changes the magnetic properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
