Characteristic MOKE Loops for S320
• Strong signals up to 320 K (upper limit of the measurements)• Nearly square loops at high temperatures• Low saturation fields and low coercivity at high T consistent with thick films• Loops exhibit qualitative change below ~150 K, where they show
characteristic dependence on sweep direction of the field
Temperature Dependence for S320
• Bulk like transition temperature
(~ 350 K)
• Broad max/plateau around 260
K suggests reorientation,
consistent with thick epitaxial
films grown on STO
• Remanent MOKE signals exhibit
dependence on field direction
below 150 K, corresponding to
the qualitative change in the
shape of the loops
• The low temperature behavior is
consistent with a change of
anisotropy and the presence of
quadratic MOKE effect
Arrows indicate the loops shown in previous slide
Temperature Dependence for S320
Characteristic MOKE Loops for S311
• No longitudinal MOKE signal above ~ 170 K• Nearly square loops with large coercivity below ~ 150 K• Kerr rotation signal does not show monotonic increase as temperature
decreases, whereas ellipticity and Hco counterparts do
• Behavior qualitatively different from sample 320
