The bibliography contains citations concerning the application of the Faraday effect and other techniques to study thin films with magneto-optical properties. The Faraday effect or Faraday rotation is the rotation of the plane of vibration of a light wave in the thin film medium when it is subjected to a strong magnetic field. Since the amount of rotation is dependent upon the composition and thickness of the film, it can be used to measure composition, thickness, and magnetization. Also included in these studies are data on anisotropy, magnetic domain width changes, temperature and spectral dependence, and optical absorption. (Contains a minimum of 153 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)
