Abstract
The optical characteristics of multi-component magnetic nanoalloys remain an area of immense interest with ever-growing experimental and theoretical advancements. These are widely studied owing to the possibility of fine tuning the properties based on varying particle composition and their internal architecture. Magnetic nanoalloys that have a large surface area provide an excellent interaction with external magnetic fields suitable for industrial application, including biomedical applications. A magneto-optical property, known as the Faraday effect, has received wide attention as magneto-optical materials are applied in diverse fields. This chapter focuses on the optical properties of magnetic nanoalloys, metal nanostructures, including hybrid systems. In addition, some of the light-scattering experiments are discussed with the aim of understanding the structural and functional properties of magnetic nanoalloys. We also give an update on recent developments, which will provide a collective framework toward future studies.
