abstract:
The low-temperature optical response of EuB6 is strongly influenced by a ferromagnetic phase transition
with a zero-field onset temperature TC of ;16 K. A marked blueshift of the reflectivity plasma edge with either
decreasing temperature or increasing magnetic field is observed. The corresponding temperature and fielddependent
plasma-frequency shift, combined with low-field Hall data, reveals a distinct reduction of the
effective mass of the itinerant charge carriers, in parallel with the onset of ferromagnetic order. A universal
scaling linking the experimental data on magnetization and the Drude weight is established.
