    Abstract:
    The optical and magneto-optical properties of ferromagnetic La(1-x)Ba(x)MnO(3) single crystals with x=0.15, 0.20 and 0.25 are studied. The components of the permittivity tensor are obtained by spectral ellipsometry techniques and transverse Kerr effect measurements. The Kerr effect spectra depend substantially on the Ba content. The plasma frequency is estimated. In the paramagnetic semiconductor state, the small polarons contribute to conductivity in La(0.85)Ba(0.15)MnO(3), in La(0.75)Ba(0.25)MnO(3) no evidence for polarons is found even in the semiconductor state. For La(0.85)Ba(0.15)MnO(3) (T(C)=214 K), the metallic phase is estimated to occupy less than 1% of the total volume at T=190 K. It is shown that in La(0.75)Ba(0.25)MnO(3), the energy gap vanishes and the metal-semiconductor transition occurs somewhat below T(C) rather than at T=T(C).
