title: Magneto-optical properties of one-dimensional orderly nanocorrugation made from magnetic quadrilayer films.
abstract: Magneto-optical (MO) Kerr effect and optical reflectance are investigated in the visible light region for one-dimensional orderly nanocorrugation of magnetic quadrilayer films. We find that the MO enhancement originates from the combined action between cavity effect and surface plasmon resonance. The coupling between surface plasmon polaritions and localized surface plasmons cannot only enhance the magnitude of Kerr angle, but also alter the sign of Kerr rotation. In addition, the MO properties on the nanocomposite films can be tuned by the thickness of the intermediate HfO2 layer due to the cavity effect in multilayer.
