Recently it has become necessary to synthesize new materials that would be applied in spin-tronics devices. This field of study has significantly developed and it dictates the properties that materials should have in order to be used for its purposes. It is well-known that the simplest method of generating a spin-polarised current in a metal is to pass the current through a ferromagnetic material. That is why, one of the perspective materials for spintronics is a ferromagnetic/semiconductor two-layered structure [1].

In order to synthesize them and control their properties we have to use the methods that are non-destructive, precise, easy to use, applicable for in situ investigations in the high-vacuum chambers of molecular beam epitaxy. We suggest that magneto-optical ellipsometry is a technique that reflects these requirements. Magneto-optical ellipsometry usually combines the features of conventional ellipsometry and of magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements [2-6]. Applied to the sample magnetic field changes the ellipsometric parameters, this difference can be examined and used to investigate magneto-optic properties of the sample.

In this work we give detailed explanation how to analyse magneto-ellipsometric data and obtain information on magneto-optical and optical properties of the material.

1. General approach to magneto-ellipsometric data processing

Our approach is based on the analysis of a well-known equation that relates the experimental ellipsometric parameters ^ and A with complex reflection coefficients corresponding to in-plane (Rp) and out-of-plane (Rs) light polarizations [7-8]. Ellipsometric parameters ^ and A can be presented as a sum of conventional parameters and Ao measured without external magnetic field and additional ellipsometric parameters 5^ and SA that are the result of magnetic field application. We suggest to consider real and imaginary parts of these coefficients, so we mark them by ' and " respectively:

tan(^o + 5^) exp(i(Ao + 5A)) = RpR-1 = (Rp — iRp)(R'S — iR'S(1)

We are interested in magneto-optical properties of the sample. That is why it seems to be reasonable to present reflection coefficients as a sum of magnetic (subscript 1) and non-magnetic (subscript 0) summands [9-11]:

Rp = Rpp + Rps = RPo + RPi — i(RP'o + RP'i) (2)

Rs = Rss + Rsp = Rso = RSo — iR'So- (3)

This paper focuses on the case of transverse magneto-optic Kerr effect when the magnetization is perpendicular to the plane of incidence and parallel to the surface of the sample. That is why there are no magnetic summands for s-plane polarization.

From (1-3) four equations can be obtained. Two of them correspond to non-magnetic condition: _

, , / (RpoRSo + RSoRp'o)2 + (RSoRpo — Rp'oRSo)2 tan V>o = ]l -R2 + R2---> (4)

T) 2 I D"

Rso + Rso

Ac = arctan RR ~ , (5)

and two equations demonstrate the influence of an external magnetic field:

6A = A - Ac = arctan R^(Rp0 + Rpi) - R'so(R'p0 + Ki) - aQj (6)

RS0(Rp0 + Rp1) + RS0(Rp0 + Rp1)

= ^ — ^0 = arctan (F tan(^0)) — ^0, (7)

where F is a multiplier in

tan ('o + 5') = F tan 'o =

= tan 'M 11 + + R'p2 + 2(RoRpi + RpoRpi))(R2o + R2) (8)

(Rp0RS0 + RS0R'p0)2 + (RS0Rp0 — R'p0R's0)2

These equations do not depend on the number of layers in a sample, so can be used for every type of reflective nanostrustures models. Below, a two-layer model is presented.

2. Data processing for the case of a two-layer model

As it was mentioned above, ferromagnetic/semiconductor two-layer structures are a subject of interest nowadays. So in this chapter let us discuss a model consisting of an upper ferromagnetic layer 1 (the refraction index Ni = ni — iki), a middle non-magnetic layer 2 (the refraction index N2 = n2 — ik2) and a substrate 3 (the refraction index N3 = n3 — ik3). The light electromagnetic wave is incident from non-magnetic dielectric medium 0 (e.g. vacuum, characterized by the refraction index N0 = n0 — ik0) onto the upper layer. In the setup, a Cartesian coordinate system is defined with the x axis normal to the interfaces and pointing into the substrate from the sample surface. The y and x axis lie in the plane of incidence. We consider T-configuration (transverse) in which magnetization is z-axis directed, i.e perpendicular to the plane of incidence and parallel to the surface. So YX plane is a plane of incidence, YZ plane is a boundary plane.

For a two-layer model it is necessary to consider each interface (0-1, 1-2, 2-3) as each of them impacts the values of ellipsometric angles. The purpose of the data processing is to characterize a ferromagnetic layer.

The first step is carrying out ellipsometric and magneto-ellipsometric measurements. Here we do not focus on ellipsometric data analysis as there is a lot of research in this field [7,8,12]. So from ellipsometric measurements we can find complex refractive indices N0, Ni, N2, N3, thicknesses of both layers, while magneto-ellipsometric parameters spectra are necessary for magneto-optical properties study of a ferromagnetic layer.

Fresnel coefficients that reflect magneto-optical properties can be derived from the scattering matrix:

S = I01L1I12L2123, (9)

where Iab is an interface matrix and Lc is a layer matrix [7].

where f31 and (32 are phase thicknesses of layer 1 and layer 2, respectively, d1 and d2 are thicknesses of layers 1 and 2. Subscripts 01, 12, 23 correspond to the wave propagation from medium 0 to medium 1, from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3 respectively, while subscripts 10 and 21 correspond to the backward wave propagation. Indices r are refractive indices for the mentioned above interfaces, indices t are transmission coefficients. Angles 1 and 2 are related with (the angle of incidence) by Snell's law. Q is a magneto-optical coupling parameter that is responsible for non-diagonal elements of dielectric tensor. It means that if we know this parameter we can fully describe the dielectric permitivity, not only diagonal elements. Hereinafter we present the

i

formulae necessary for identifying Q from magneto-ellipsometric measurements. Let us rewrite (12-18) in the same manner as (2, 3):

rois = (RSo)oi — i(RSo)oi, (30)

ri2S = (RSo)i2 — i(RSo)i2, (31)

r2ís = (RSo)23 — i(RSo)23, (32)

r23p = (Rpo)23 : — i(Rpo)23 = rr'23 — i rÍ23, (33)

ro1P = (R'po)oi + (R'pi)oi — i((Rpo)oi + (Rpi)oi) = rroi — i rioi, (34)

r12P = (Rpo) i2 + (R'pi)i2 — i((Rpo)i2 + (Rpi)i2) = rri2 — i rii2, (35)

r2íP = (Rpo)23 + (Rpi)23 — i((Rpo)23 + (Rpi)23) = rf'23 — i ri23, (36)

r1oP = (Rpo)io — (Rpi)io — i((R^o)io — (Rpi)io) = rrio — i riio, (37)

r21P = (Rpo)2i — (Rpi)2i — i((Rpo)2i — (R^i)n) = rr2i — i ri2i, (38)

toip = = (Tpo)oi + (Tpi)oi — i((Tp'o)oi + (Tpi)oi) = troi — i tioi, (39)

tl2p = = (Tpo)i2 + (Tpi) i2 — i((Tpo ) 12 + (Tpi ) 12) = tr 12 — i ti 12, (40)

tiop - = (Tpo)io — (Tpi)io — i((Tp'o) i o — (Tpi) i o) = tr i o — i ti i o, (41)

t2ip - = (Tpo)2i — (Tpi)2i — i((Tp'o)2i — (Tpi)2i)= tr2i — i tin, (42)

(RSo)oi, (RSo)oi , (Rpo)oi, (Rpo)oi, Rpi)oi, (Rpi)oi correspond to R'so,R'So, Rpo, í?" í?' Rpo, Rpi,

Rpi in the model of a homogeneous semi-infinite medium, respectively [11]. Subscript 01 denotes the electromagnetic wave incidence from ambient medium 0 onto layer 1. Indices (R'so)i2, (R'so)i2, (R'po)i2, (Rpo)i2, (R'pi)i2, (R'Pi)i2 are also calculated by formulae for the model of a homogeneous semi-infinite medium, the only difference is that subscript 12 denotes the electromagnetic wave incidence from layer 1 onto layer 2 that leads to the following changes in the formulae for the model of a homogeneous semi-infinite medium: cos po ^ cos pi, cos pi ^ cosp2, sinpo ^ siny>i, ni ^ n2, no ^ ni, ki ^ k2, ko ^ ki. Likewise, indices (Rpo)io, (R'po)io, (R'pi)io, (Rpi)io describe the electromagnetic wave propagation from layer 1 to medium 0: cospo ^ cospi, sinpo ^ sinpi, no ^ ni, ko ^ ki. Indices (R'po)2i, (R'po)2i, (R'pi)2i, (R'Pi)2i correspond to the electromagnetic wave propagation from layer 2 to layer 1: cos po ^ cos p2, sin po ^ sin p2, no ^ n2, ko ^ k2. Finally, indices (R'so)23, (RSo)23, (Rpo)23, (Rpo)23, (Rpi)23, (Rpi)23 describe the electromagnetic wave incidence from layer 2 on substrate 3: cospo ^ cosp2, cospi ^ cosp3, sinpo ^ sinp2, ni ^ n3, no ^ n2, ki ^ k3, ko ^ k2.

Transmission coefficients necessary for data processing are the following:

N = Re(sin p0 )a — Im(sin p0)c, (57)

P = — Re(sin p0)c — Im(sin p0)a. (58)

Transmission coefficients with subscripts 10, 12, 21 correspond to the electromagnetic wave propagation from layer 1 to medium 0, from layer 1 to layer 2, from layer 2 to layer 1, respectively. The changes in the formulae are the same as proposed for refractive indices.

Let us take into account N0 = n0 — ik0, N1 = n1 — ik1, N2 = n2 — ik2, Q = Q1 — iQ2 and compare expressions (12, 13) with (2, 3). Thus we obtain expressions for R'p0, R'po, Rp1,Rpi, R's0 and RSo in terms of numerators and denominators:

r = numeratorRso _ Re(n(Rso)) — i Im(n(Rso)) (59) denominatorRso Re(d(Rso)) — i Im(d(Rso)) '

R = Re(n(Rpo)) — i Im(n(Rpo)) (60)

R = Re(n(Rp)) — i Im(n(Rp)) (61)

p Re(d(Rp)) — i Im(d(Rp)), (6)

where n stands for numerator and d - for denominator. As a result, we have

r = Re(n(Rpo)) Re(d(Rpo)) + Im(n(Rpo)) Im(d(Rpo)) (62)

So all necessary expressions that relate measured ellipsometric and magneto-ellipsometric parameters with refraction indices, coefficients of extinction, magneto-optical coupling parameter in case of a two-layer model are obtained. The final step is giving the best fit to the experimental data by the use of the wavelength-to-wavelength Nelder-Mead minimization [13] of the

ellipsometric angles. It yields real and imaginary parts of magneto-optical parameter Q, thus information about all elements of the dielectric permittivity tensor can be obtained from the experiment.

Conclusion

To conclude, we have proposed an approach to studying two-layer nanomaterials by means of magneto-ellipsometry. The algorithm of experimental data analysis (^o, So, ^o + S^, Ao + SA) is presented. As a result, optical and magneto-optical properties can be easily and reliably characterized during films growth through the presented formulae that are to be used in the software for magneto-optical ellipsometry set-ups.
