Reply to the comment by L Helseth on 'Bismuth-induced increase of the magneto-optical effects in iron garnets'

Description

The discussion concerns the origin of the giant Faraday rotation in bismuth- and lead-doped iron garnets. It is convincingly shown that this effect is due to the covalent admixture of Bi(Pb)6p-wavefunctions to oxygen 2p-orbitals in octahedral and tetrahedral Fe-O clusters of iron garnets. The crucial role of the quantum-chemical computation of electronic structure of such clusters is emphasized. (reply)
