Abstract
Significant magnetoreflection of unpolarized light in magnetostrictive ferrimagnetic single crystal of CoFe2O4 has been revealed in the infrared spectral range. The magnetoreflection effect in CoFe2O4 is up to 4% in a relatively small magnetic field. We experimentally demonstrate clear correlation between magnetostriction and magnetoreflection of light in CoFe2O4 ferrite. The influence of a magnetic field on specular reflection is likely to be indirect: application of a magnetic field results in strong strains and deformations of the crystal lattice, which lead to the change in electron energy structure and hence reflection spectrum of CoFe2O4 crystal - strain-magneto-optics.
