磁光克尔效应测量装置是材料表面磁性研究中的一种重要手段,其工作原理是基于由光与磁化介质间相互作用而引起的磁光克尔效应,其不仅能够进行单原子层厚度材料的磁性检测,而且可实现非接触式测量,在磁性超薄膜的磁有序、磁各向异性、层间耦合和磁性超薄膜的相变行为等方面的研究中都有重要应用。磁光克尔效应测量装置主要是通过检测一束线偏振光在材料表面反射后的偏振态变化引起的光强变化进行样品表面的磁化观测。现有技术缺陷一:传统的聚焦克尔显微镜的空间分辨率由光学衍射极限所决定,其成像的效果极易受到光学元件限制,因此无法得到纳米尺度的磁化动态特征。现有技术缺陷二:在某些通过测量两束光在样品表面的干涉来得到样品的磁化信息的方法中,两束光的光路是分开控制的,而且需要在探测之前重新合并,因此需要较多的光学元件,因此得到的信号的信噪比较低,现有技术缺陷三:现有技术的干涉法测样品的克尔旋转的装置中,只能测量极向克尔效应,所述一种纳米结构磁性测量装置能解决问题。The magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement device is an important means in the study of material surface magnetism. Its working principle is based on the magneto-optic Kerr effect caused by the interaction between light and magnetized media. Magnetic detection, and non-contact measurement can be realized, and it has important applications in the research of magnetic order, magnetic anisotropy, interlayer coupling and phase transition behavior of magnetic ultrathin films. The magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement device is mainly used to observe the magnetization of the sample surface by detecting the change of the polarization state of a beam of linearly polarized light caused by the change of the polarization state after the material surface is reflected. Defect 1 of the existing technology: the spatial resolution of the traditional focusing Kerr microscope is determined by the optical diffraction limit, and its imaging effect is easily limited by optical elements, so it is impossible to obtain the dynamic characteristics of magnetization at the nanometer scale. Defect 2 of the prior art: In some methods of obtaining the magnetization information of the sample by measuring the interference of two beams of light on the surface of the sample, the optical paths of the two beams of light are controlled separately and need to be recombined before detection, so more There are many optical components, so the signal-to-noise ratio of the obtained signal is low. The third defect of the prior art: in the device for measuring the Kerr rotation of the sample by interferometry in the prior art, only the polar Kerr effect can be measured. A nanostructured magnetic measurement device could solve the problem.
