An automatic recording magnetooptical rotation spectropolarimeter.
The design and construction of an automatic recording spectropolarimeter for measuring magnetooptical rotations (Faraday effect) in a magnetic field is described. The instrument has two opposed 5000 G magnetic fields (one for solution and one for solvent) to give solute rotation directly as a function of wavelength (250-750 mmicro;) to a precision of +/-0.001 degrees in the visible and +/-0.003 degrees in the uv region of the spectrum. A description of the instrument performance and typical spectra is given.
