Magneto-Optical Study on Transparent Lanthanide Glasses in Pulsed High Fields up to 30T

Abstract

Magnetizations and optical Faraday effects have been intensitvely studied in transparent glasses of almost all Lanthanide elements with 20mol % in pulsed magnetic fields up to 30T in the temperature range between 1.8K-RT. The internal effective fields were investigated by observing Verdet constants as a function of applied fields and as a function of magnetizations in the wavelength range between 400nm and 2600nm, intensively for Nd, Pr , Tb and Dy glasses respectively. We obtained a magnet of Dy (30mol%) glass with optically transparent and adhesive to conventional magnet at the room temperature. The magnetizations of these glasses showed paramagnetism at the room temerature and showed super-paramagnetim at cryogenic temperatures below 4.2K.
