Magnetic domains and unusual hysteresis loops of yttrium iron garnet crystals revealed by magneto-optic effects

I present a magneto-optic effect study of magnetic domains in a ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet crystal at different stages of a hysteresis loop. By measuring the Faraday effect in response to the out-of-plane component and Kerr effects to the in-plane components of the sample magnetization, I exa...
