• Popis: Far-infrared spectra of magnetodielectric Dy3Fe5O12 garnet were studied using a combination of transmittance, reflectivity, and rotating analyzer ellipsometry. In addition to purely dielectric and magnetic modes, we observed several hybrid modes with a mixed magnetic and electric dipole activity. Using 4 x 4 matrix formalism for materials with mu(omega) <> 1, we modeled the experimental optical spectra and determined the far-infrared dielectric and magnetic permeability functions. The matching condition mu(omega_h)Se = epsilon(omega_h)Sm for the oscillator strengths Se/m explains the observed vanishing of certain hybrid modes at omega_h in reflectivity.
