The discussion centers on the photomagnetic effect and its feasibility at room temperature. Participants explore the existence of materials that exhibit this effect and inquire about related phenomena, such as the magneto-optic effect.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence of photomagnetic materials at room temperature, and multiple viewpoints regarding the relationship between light and magnetic fields remain. The discussion is unresolved.
There are limitations in the discussion regarding the definitions of photomagnetic and magneto-optic effects, as well as the specific conditions under which these phenomena may occur. The search for materials exhibiting these effects at room temperature is ongoing.
... causes a rotation of the plane of polarization which is linearly proportional to the component of the magnetic field in the direction of propagation.
Young Learner said:I have a fair bit of idea about photo magnetic effect. But, after several hours of googling I am not able to find a material which exhibits photomagnetic effect. I just wanted to know if photomagnetic effect is possible in normal room temperature conditions, because I came across a thread saying photomagnetic effect is possible at -259 degree Celsius.
Young Learner said:Thanks for the reply
Is Magneto-Optic effect is a phenomenon where light passed through a material produces magnetic field?. I just wanted to know about a material which should produce a magnetic field when light is passed through it in normal temperature surroundings.
