摘要
A quadratic magneto-optical Kerr effect (QMOKE) of exceptionally high value, strong polar and longitu-dinal linear Kerr effects have been demonstrated in thin films of ferromagnetic (Eu,Gd)O and the parent compound EuO epitaxially grown on yttria-stabilized zirconia. At a photon energy of 1.85 eV, the effect reaches 1 deg in Eu0.97Gd0.03O exceeding the reported values of giant QMOKE by an order of magnitude. It is demonstrated that the QMOKE in (Eu,Gd)O enables detailed optical studies of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy of the film. The observed giant QMOKE may be employed for the development of vectorial sensors of weak magnetic fields. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
