| Abstract: | Starting with the
first report of a magneto-optical effect in a colloid by Grove in 1845 and the
unsuccessful search by Faraday, the various discoveries by Kerr, Majorana,
Cotton and Mouton and others up to about 1940 are described. A survey of the
development of the theoretical interpretation has as highlights Schmauss' idea
of particle orientation, Cotton and Mouton realizing that thermal motion
provided the opposing mechanism, and Langevin's statistical-mechanical
treatment. This part ends with the expressions for the dichroism by Naik and
Desai in 1964. |
