Abstract
The oscillatory behaviour of the Faraday rotation spectra near the absorption edge of CuCl is interpreted in terms of the interband and exciton effects. According to this interpretation, the positive Faraday rotation in low energy regions is predominantly due to the interband effect, while the large negative rotation a t energies just below the exciton absorption band is ascribed to the nonβrigid shift contribution of the exciton effect. Calculation based on this model is in satisfactory agreement with experiment. It is further suggested that the same effect will be also responsible for the similar oscillatory behaviour of the Faraday rotation observed in several semiconductors such as GaSb, GaAs, and CdTe.
