Figures of merit for magneto-optic materials

In the development of magneto-optic (MO) materials for device applications it is important to be able to quickly and quantitatively compare the expected performance of new materials with others previously developed. Several ‘figures of merit’ are in common use for doing this. We consider their relat...

Description
Summary:In the development of magneto-optic (MO) materials for device applications it is important to be able to quickly and quantitatively compare the expected performance of new materials with others previously developed. Several ‘figures of merit’ are in common use for doing this. We consider their relative advantages and disadvantages.
