Abstract
Magnetoinduced effects in second harmonic (SH) generation are experimentall y studied in the CoxCu1-x granular films. Significant nonlinear magneto-opt ical Kerr effect (NOMOKE) is observed both in longitudinal and transverse c onfigurations. The interference of the SH fields generated by the interface and bulk, nonmagnetic and magnetoinduced nonlinear polarizations is discus sed as a mechanism of NOMOKE enhancement, The bulk nonmagnetic dipole quadr atic susceptibility of Co nanocrystals stems from the lack of inversion sym metry in the Co granules.
