Abstract

We show that coherent backscattering of light from a disordered sample in a magnetic field can exhibit unusual features. The helicity retention in scattering from particles of the sample underlies these features. In the magnetic field parallel to the sample surface, the peak of coherent backscattering of circularly polarized light shifts from the backward direction by an angle proportional to the magnetic field strength. For linearly polarized light the coherent backscattering cone splits into two ones. The results obtained correlate well with the available experimental data.
