Abstract
A novel effect of magneto-optical Kerr rotation from a surface in the transversal geometry is predicted that is linear in the magnetization M and is forbidden in the bulk of most magnetic media. This Surface-Induced Transversal Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (SITMOKE) is found to vanish at most bulk-terminated low-index faces of cubic media but is allowed at lower-symmetry planes so that SITMOKE is suitable for studying the magnetism of vicinal and reconstructed surfaces.
