As an electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, it’s perhaps not so surprising that light is affected by a magnetic field. This Faraday effect (FE) has been used since its discovery by [Michael Faraday] ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday Effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

Physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have for the first time been able to prove a long-predicted but as yet unconfirmed fundamental effect. In Faraday chiral ...

Intense laser pulses can be used to manipulate or even switch the magnetization orientation of a material on extremely short time scales. Typically, such effects are thermally induced, as the absorbed ...
