Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 565))

Abstract

The macroscopic and microscopic theory of Linear and Non-Linear Magneto- optical (LMO and NLMO) effects are first summarised. The specificity of MO effects for measuring the vectorial components of the magnetisation are underlined and the time and spatial resolution emphasised in the case of ultrathin magnetic film structures. NLMO’s allows checking the surface and interface magnetism while in-depth magnetisation measurements may be performed by LMO’s. Several up to date problems in thin film magnetism have been solved by MO’s, such as the domain wall dynamics in the Pt/Co/Pt ultrathin thin film structure and the magnetisation reversal dynamics of magnetically non-coupled or coupled small dot arrays.
