Title: Spectroscopic studies of new generation of optical and magneto-optical materials Author: Eva Butková Department / Institute: Institute of Physics of Charles University. Department of Materials Science and Technology of Nagaoka University of Technology. Supervisors of the doctoral thesis: RNDr. Martin Veis, Ph.D., Division of Magneto-optics, Institute of Physics of Charles University Dr. Takayuki Ishibashi, Ph.D., Department of Materials Science and Technology, Nagaoka University of Technology Abstract: In recent years, novel optical and magneto-optical devices have been proposed. This ranges from integrated photonic devices such as 3D holographic displays to magnetic recording, non- reciprocal photonic devices such as optical isolators and circulators or high-energy X-ray/gamma ray detectors. These devices, however, require suitable materials with tunable optical and magneto-optical properties. Presented thesis aims to systematically study such materials, namely GdxFe(100-x), magnetic garnets (Y3-xBixFe5O12, Nd2BiFe(5-x)GaxO12, Nd0.5Bi2.5Fe(5-x)GaxO12) and Ce(0.95-x)HfxCo0.05O(2-δ). Systematic study is carried out by the combination of experimental methods of spectroscopic ellipsometry, magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy and Faraday effect spectroscopy. Experimental data are confronted to...
