Faraday-Effekt in Reflexion an Selen-Einkristallen

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik

Abstract

It is shown that the effective mass and its directional dependence can be determined from the rotation of the reflected linear polarized light under the influence of a magnetic field (Faraday-Effect in reflection). This method was applied to hexagonal single crystals of Selenium. For the effective mass, a value of about 10m 0 was obtained in the upper branch of the valence-band, in the lower branch a value of about 1m 0 was obtained (m 0=rest mass of the electron).
