What is Faraday and Kerr Effects in Ferromagnetics about?

This document summarizes a 1955 Physical Review article that presents a theory of the Faraday and Kerr effects in ferromagnetics based on band theory of metals. It describes how the spin-orbit interaction gives electron wave functions asymmetry, producing an average current perpendicular to the plane of polarized light. This current causes rotation of the polarization plane and elliptical polarization from transmission or reflection. The model agrees with experimental results for temperature and frequency d
