Faraday rotation of pure and transition metal-doped zinc selenide
摘要
The current study is dedicated to measuring the Verdet constant of pure and chromium and iron ions doped ZnSe using laser sources in the range from 632.8 to 2430 nm. An increase in the magneto-optical properties of ZnSe as a result of diffusion doping with transition metal ions was experimentally discovered. The results align with the Van Vleck-Hebb theory, which predicts a nearly linear rise in the Verdet constant with increasing of transition element concentration.
