The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) is calculated for bcc Fe, hcp Co and fcc Ni using the
full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method. The results are compared with the …

Recent experiments suggest that the linear magneto-optical signal from thin surfaces differs
significantly from the corresponding bulk signal. Using an ab initio full potential linear muffin …

We present theoretical calculations of the magneto‐optic polar Kerr effect in bcc iron, fcc

The microscopic quantities that determine the magnitude and frequency position of peaks in
the Kerr rotation spectrum are studied on the basis of first-principles band-structure theory …

A first-principles theory of the optical Kerr effect in the ferromagnetic metals Fe and Ni and in
some Fe-based alloys is given. The theory is based on density-functional theory in the local …

The transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE) was investigated for thin epitaxial Fe

A band theory of the magneto-optical (MO) properties of solids, based on the first-principles
spin-polarized, relativistic linear muffin-tin orbital method, is described. Two expressions of …
