analyseur de spectre magnéto-optique; magneto-optical spectrum analyser

Apparatus for measuring the frequency spectrum of the magneto-optical response to field modulation.

magnetic field; magnetic fields

Expressed in CGS units, Oe, its conversion into MKS units is: 1 kA/m = 12.54 Oe.

magneto-photonic crystal; cristal magnéto-photonique

Nanostructured hydride structure that modifies the electronic and optical properties of a material.

antiferromagnetic domains; domaines antiferromagnétiques

In a purely antiferromagnetic material, two nearby magnetic atoms carry alternating spins, so that the field-free macroscopic magnetization is zero. In cubic materials
