We present and discuss magneto-optical data of the Eu(1-x)Ca(x)B6 series, based on measurements of the reflectivity R(omega) from the far infrared up to the ultraviolet, as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Via the Kramers-Kronig transformation of R(omega) we extract the complete absorption spectra of samples with different values of x. The change of the spectral weight in the Drude component by increasing the magnetic field agrees with a scenario based on the double-exchange model, and suggests a crossover from a ferromagnetic metal to a ferromagnetic Anderson insulator upon increasing Ca content at low temperatures. | lld:pubmed |
