Abstract
We present a formula which can be used to analyze the anisotropic and apparent Faraday effect occurring in a material having an optically an isotropic property. By using the formula the real Faraday parameter ca n be obtained. For example, we have used the formula to study the anis otropic Faraday effect of a single-crystal Cd0.55Mn0.45Te measured wit h the spectroscopic ellipsometer and rotating-analyzer-type Kerr appar atus. The calculated data were in good agreement with the experimental results. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
