TERBIUM PARAMAGNETIC GARNET SINGLE CRYSTAL AND MAGNETO-OPTICAL DEVICE

摘要

The terbium type paramagnetic garnet single crystal with such characteristics as a high Faraday effect and a high light transmission factor even in a visible range has a high Verdet constant. The magneto-optical device contains the terbium type paramagnetic garnet single crystal. The terbium type paramagnetic garnet single crystal contains at least terbium, at least one element of aluminum and gallium, a part of the terbium being replaced by at least one element of cerium and praseodymium.
