The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving the photomagnetic effect at room temperature. Participants express difficulty in identifying materials that exhibit this effect, which is typically observed at extremely low temperatures, such as -259 degrees Celsius. The magneto-optic effect, particularly the Faraday effect, is highlighted as a related phenomenon where light passing through a material interacts with a magnetic field. The conversation emphasizes the need for further research into materials capable of demonstrating photomagnetic properties at ambient temperatures.
PREREQUISITESResearchers in materials science, physicists studying magneto-optic effects, and engineers developing optical devices that utilize photomagnetic properties.
... 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.

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.
