Investigation of Magneto Optic effect in scattered light from microcrystals

Abstract

We have investigated magneto-optics in scattered light from microcrystals of ethylene terephthalate oligomers. These crystals, which are mainly cyclic trimers, has different sinusoidal responses in the magneto-optic test for right and left circularly polarized light. These responses originate from the scattering of light from an organic microcrystal. Because of the local conductivity of these oligomers, their crystals act as quantum multi-wells, the most probable mechanism for magneto-optics effect. Here we present a proper setup for magneto -optic investigation and notice the phase difference in adjacent rays of scattered beam as an origin of different results that may confuse the researchers.
