“…The prediction of this la rge tunable nonlinear Kerr rotation was confirmed by experiments on single-crystalline Fe whiskers [75] . The (100) surfaces of whiskers were capped by MBE-grown Au and Cr layers, while some experiments were also performed on uncapped, oxidized Fe whiskers.…”

“…Due to the fact that SHG is also generated at buried interfaces, properties of different interfaces in multilayer systems could be separated [31,32]. For that purpose it was important that the size of the nonlinear magneto-optical effects, namely the nonlinear Kerr rotation, is strongly increased compared to linear optics [33,34].…”

“…Since the theoretical prediction of the sensitivity of nonlinear optics to surface magnetism [28][29][30] and the first experiments [2,3] the applicability of NOLIMOKE to thin film systems has been demonstrated for several phenomena. Due to the fact that SHG is also generated at buried interfaces, properties of different interfaces in multilayer systems could be separated [31,32]. For that purpose it was important that the size of the nonlinear magneto-optical effects, namely the nonlinear Kerr rotation, is strongly increased compared to linear optics [33,34].…”

We calculate the nonlinear magneto-optical response of free-standing fcc (001), (110) and (111) oriented Fe monolayers. The bandstructures are determined from first principles using a full-potential LAPW method with the additional implementation of spin-orbit coupling. The variation of the spinorbit coupling strength and the nonlinear magneto-optical spectra upon layer orientation are investigated. We find characteristic differences which indicate an enhanced sensitivity of nonlinear magneto-optics to surface orientation and variation of the in-plane lattice constants. In particular the crossover from onedimensional stripe structures to twodimensional films of (111) layers exhibits a clean signature in the nonlinear Kerr-spectra and demonstrates the versatility of nonlinear magneto-optics as a tool for in situ thin-film analysis.
