Abstract

The reflectivity spectra and the magnetorefractive effect (MRE) of (Co50Fe50)x(Al2O3)1−x metal-dielectric granular films (0.07<x<0.52) are analyzed in the IR spectral range λ=2.5–25 µm. It is revealed that the specific features observed in the spectra at λ≈8.5 and 20 µm are associated with the excitation of phonon modes in the dielectric matrix. The magnetorefractive effect in the films is observed below the percolation thresh-old only in p-polarized light and above the percolation threshold for both the p and s polarizations. It is demonstrated that the optical properties of (Co50Fe50)x(Al2O3)1−x films in the IR spectral range, to a first approximation, can be interpreted in the framework of the effective-medium theory and the magnetorefractive effect can be explained in terms of the modified Hagen-Rubens relation.
