Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The temperature dependence of the Faraday effect in terbium garnet ferrite, Tb3Fe5O12, is investigated near its magnetic-compensation temperature, Т с  = 249 K. A non-monotonous variation in the value of the Faraday rotation angle Ф is observed in a weak magnetic field as the temperature approaches Т с : the temperature plot of the Faraday rotation angle has two local maxima observed left and right of the magnetic compensation point. A theoretical model is proposed, which follows from the phenomenological theory of domain-boundary displacement under the action of a magnetic field, offering an unambiguous description of the principles of domain-structure influence on the Faraday effect in Tb3Fe5O12 near Т с .
