A change in rotation of light reflected off a magnetic field. The polarity of a magneto-optic bit causes the laser to shift one degree clockwise or counterclockwise. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR ...

In this study, the team successfully synthesized high-quality two-dimensional CrVI 6 single crystals and conducted precise micro-area magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements. Remarkably ...

The Mental Impact of Multicancer Early-Detection Testing Prof David Kerr explores the psychological effects of multicancer early-detection tests, examining patient reactions to results.

As [Les] explains, the Kerr effect uses a high-voltage field to rapidly switch light passing through a medium on and off. The most common medium in Kerr cells is nitrobenzene, a “distressingly ...

The optical Kerr effect is a well-known phenomenon in which an electric field creates birefringence in a material. Researchers have now demonstrated this effect using single-cycle terahertz pulses ...
