=== Organic materials === In organic materials, Faraday rotation is typically small, with a [[Verdet constant]] in the visible wavelength region on the order of a few hundred degrees per Tesla per meter, decreasing proportional to <math> \lambda^{-2} </math> in this region.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Vandendriessche|first1=Stefaan|display-authors=etal|title=Faraday rotation and its dispersion in the visible region for saturated organic liquids|doi=10.1039/C2CP23311H|pmid=22234394|journal=Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics |volume=14|issue=6|pages=1860β1864|bibcode = 2012PCCP...14.1860V|date=2012|url=https://lirias.kuleuven.be/bitstream/123456789/339734/2/Faraday+Fluids.pdf}}</ref> While the Verdet constant of organic materials does increase around electronic transitions in the molecule, the associated light absorption makes most organic materials bad candidates for applications. There are however also isolated reports of large Faraday rotation in organic liquid crystals without associated absorption.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Vandendriessche|first1=Stefaan|display-authors=etal|title=Giant Faraday Rotation in Mesogenic Organic Molecules|doi=10.1021/cm4004118|journal=Chemistry of Materials|volume=25|number=7|pages=1139β1143|date=2013|url=https://lirias.kuleuven.be/handle/123456789/402206|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Vleugels|first1=Rick|display-authors=etal|title=Faraday Rotation in Discotic Liquid Crystals by Long-Range Electron Movement|doi=10.1021/acs.jpcc.9b00607|journal=Journal of Physical Chemistry C|volume=123|number=14|pages=9382β9387|date=2019|s2cid=109432365}}</ref>
