Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied magneto-optical effects for magnetic ionic liquids containing a variety of metal complex ions. We focus on the Faraday effect which is known as one of the magneto-optical effects. Magnetic ionic liquids were synthesized, and their Faraday rotation spectra were measured. We showed that magnetic ionic liquids were potential magneto-optical materials having good performance.
