Title: Analysis of optical and magnetooptical spectra of Fe{sub 5}Si{sub 3} and Fe{sub 3}Si magnetic silicides using spectral magnetoellipsometry

Abstract

The optical, magnetooptical, and magnetic properties of polycrystalline (Fe{sub 5}Si{sub 3}/SiO{sub 2}/Si(100)) and epitaxial Fe{sub 3}Si/Si(111) films are investigated by spectral magnetoellipsometry. The dispersion of the complex refractive index of Fe{sub 5}Si{sub 3} is measured using multiangle spectral ellipsometry in the range of 250–1000 nm. The dispersion of complex Voigt magnetooptical parameters Q is determined for Fe{sub 5}Si{sub 3} and Fe{sub 3}Si in the range of 1.6–4.9 eV. The spectral dependence of magnetic circular dichroism for both silicides has revealed a series of resonance peaks. The energies of the detected peaks correspond to interband electron transitions for spin-polarized densities of electron states (DOS) calculated from first principles for bulk Fe{sub 5}Si{sub 3} and Fe{sub 3}Si crystals.
