The Effect of Carbon Nanotube as Cap Layer on Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect of Nickel Thin Film

چکیده مقاله

The magneto optical Kerr effect (MOKE) responses of nanostructures are usually very small. Therefore, amplify the Kerr signal, without causing serious changes in magnetic properties of the nanostructure, is essential for practical applications. The interesting properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold a lot of promises for applications in the fields of optics, electronics, biomedical and engineering. In the last decade there has been different researches about surface plasmon resonance in CNTs and possibility of enhancement the Kerr signal in magnetic thin films assisted with CNTs.
