Optical detection of spin-bath relaxation in some paramagnetic crystals

The magneto-optical Faraday effect has been used to observe the spin-bath relaxation at low temperatures in CeES and in Eu-doped CaF₂. The paramagnetic Faraday rotation ϩ is an instantaneous measure of the magnetization M and it is shown that in CeES and Eu²+ : CaF₂, ϩ∾ M at the light frequencies em...
