Abstract

Effects due to magneto-optical interactions are responsible for most of the phenomena discovered in optoelectronics and spintronics. Magneto-optical interactions can generate elementary excitations of the order of light-magnetic matter, which can flow under certain conditions. Here, we observe the intensities of magneto-optical interactions in hexagonal arrays of magnetic nanowires using experimental measurements and simulations. Nanowires of three materials (cobalt-Co, iron-Fe, and nickel-Ni) were electrodeposited on alumina membranes by the AC electrodeposition method. Our results reveal that the magneto-optical behavior can produce, under certain conditions, a kind of avalanche of magneto-optical interactions, which is dynamic. Such an observation shows the possibility of generating a magneto-optical current (spin-opto current).
