Ultrafast inverse Faraday effect in a paramagnetic terbium gallium garnet crystal

Mikhaylovskiy, R. V., Hendry, E., Kruglyak, V. V.·2012·Physical Review B

Abstract

Conventional wisdom dictates that magneto-optical and optomagnetic phenomena are reciprocal and of equal strength. We test this assumption in a pump-probe experimental study of the ultrafast inverse Faraday effect in a terbium gallium garnet crystal. The thorough quantitative analysis of the observed polarization response unambiguously demonstrates a remarkable discrepancy of several orders of magnitude between the strengths of the direct and the inverse effects. This finding further questions the validity of standard magnetic models relying on the use of the static Verdet constant on subpicosecond time scales.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Enhancements of the magneto-optical signal due to microscopic mechanisms like those reported in ref. 26 are ruled out.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
