3. Magneto-optical materials
As far as applications are concerned, two classes of magneto-optical materials can be distinguished.
Transparent materials used for transmission must have either a high Verdet constant (diamagnetic or paramagnetic materials), a high Faraday rotation (ferromagnetic materials) or a high Cotton-Mouton effect.
The second class comprises reflective materials that exhibit a significant Kerr effect and whose main application may be magneto-optical recording. Several review articles discuss materials for magneto-optics
