Abstract

The magneto-optical activity of thin crystals of nickel sulphate α-hexahydrate has been measured by means of the spectroradiometric method in the spectral range 0.7μ to 1.9μ and for ordinary and low (-125°C) temperatures. The curves showing the dispersion of the rotation have marked anomalies in the region of λ 0.69μ and particularly 1.16μ, matching the ones found in the optical rotation for these wave-lengths. The ratio of the rotations at low temperatures and room temperature is itself an anomalous curve. The effects can be qualitatively explained on the basis of the inverse Zeeman effect.
