Magneto optic measurements are a very powerful tool for investigating the polarization of a conduction band as a function of temperature and are used here to study the polarization of the mobile electrons in 50nm LSMO (x=0.3) strained thin films grown epitaxially on single crystalline (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) and (001) lattice matched substrate (LSAT). The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) has been investigated in magnetic fields up to 0.5 T and over a temperature range (10 to 450 K). The MCD spectra of both the films show a peak at the band gap at around 3 eV and the peak is found to be shifted towards lower energy side with the increase of temperature. A separate polaron peak (well known in insulating samples) appears at lower energy (about 1.8 eV) with the increase of temperature in all these metallic films. The rapid decrease in conduction band polarization in the film on LAO has strong implications for the use of these manganites in room temperature spintronics.

拓扑表面态与左旋和右旋圆偏振光的微分耦合是拓扑绝缘体的许多光自旋电子学应用的基础。在这里,我们报告的圆二色性的直接证据,从表面状态的Bi $_2$ Se $_3$使用基于激光的飞行时间角分辨光电子能谱。通过采用一种新的样品旋转分析,我们解决了不寻常的调制的圆二色性光电发射图案作为能量和动量的函数,这完美地模仿了预测,但迄今未观察到的三维扭曲的自旋纹理的表面状态。通过发展拓扑表面态光电子发射的微观理论,我们表明,这种相关性是自旋轨道耦合的自然结果。这些结果表明,我们的技术可能是一个强大的探针的自旋-轨道耦合材料的自旋织构一般。
