Abstract

The optical and magneto-optical (MO) properties of (La_0.7A_0.3)MnO₃ (A=Sr, Ca, and Ce) thin films have been investigated. It is found that the value shape of spectra is strongly dependent on different cation dopings. The Sr-doped thin film exhibits a strong Drude response and maximum Kerr rotation angle of 0.32° at ∼3.4 eV. Interestingly, the replacement of Sr ions with the smaller Ca ions and the tetravalent Ce ions all lead to a remarkable suppression of the carrier density and the MO response. Such differences are interpreted as due to their different electronic band structures.
