Faraday rotation in conjugated organic molecules KU Leuven
Faraday rotation, which is the rotation of the plane of polarization of light under the influence of a longitudinal magnetic field, was discovered almost two centuries ago. Nowadays, mostly inorganic paramagnetic materials are used in applications based on Faraday rotation. However, organic diamagnetic materials provide many advantages over their inorganic counterparts, such as a smaller temperature dependency of their Verdet constant, magnetic ...
