Abstract
The temperature dependence of paramagnetic magneto-optical glasses is a key factor limiting their practical applications, however, the mechanism has remained to be identified. This work primarily investigates the temperature characteristics of our most-recently designed rare earth magneto-optical glasses with a large Verdet constant. Experimental results reveal that the Verdet constant of rare earth magneto-optical glass decreases with rising temperature, e.g., it decreases by 45 % as the temperature increases from 25 °C to 400 °C. It is also found that variations in the rare earth ion concentration significantly affect the material's temperature dependence properties.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
