Abstract
The optical and magneto-optical properties of uranium NaCl-type compounds have been thoroughly investigated experimentally and a model of the electronic structure was proposed. From self-consistent LMTO energy band calculations, we obtain prominent peaks in the optical conductivity at 0.02, 1.2 and 2.0 eV in agreement with the observations. When spin-orbit coupling is included in the calculations we obtain both giant orbital contributions to the moment and magneto-optical Kerr effect.
