There is no Kerr rotation or Kerr ellipticity for pure /flight or for mixed r- and p-light in the transverse geometry, but there is a magnetization induced change in the surface reflectivity.

In addition to the OP formalism, several alternative schemes have been suggested in the past to account, within a relativistic band-structure calculation, for correlation effects not incorporated within the local approximation to SDFT (LSDA). For example, the LDA+U scheme has been applied to the compound CeSb (Antropov et al. 1995), a system that has a maximum Kerr-rotation angle of 90° (Pittini et al.
