Notes:
Theoretical spectra for the magneto-optical Kerr effect in polar geometry have been obtained for four series of L21 Heusler alloys Fe2 YZ and Co2 YZ, with Y=V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Z=Al or Ga. Selected spectra are presented. Trends are identified in the relation between electronic structure and the polar Kerr angle spectrum for L21. Further it is shown that the large Kerr rotation in the C1b compound PtMnSb cannot be attributed to a few states close to the Fermi level. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
