Phys. Rev. B 70, 195407 (2004) [7 pages]Longitudinal Kerr effect in ultrathin Fe films on Pd(100)Received 4 June 2004; published 10 November 2004 Based on Luttinger’s formulation the complex optical conductivity tensor of ultrathin films of Fe on Pd(100) is calculated by means of the spin-polarized relativistic screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method using a contour integration technique. For longitudinal geometry and oblique incidence ab initio Kerr spectra are then obtained via a 2×2 matrix technique that takes into account all multiple reflections between layers and optical interferences. The obtained results are in very good agreement with the available experimental data. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
