15. With the increasing penetration depth of the light, the total number of the MnAs clusters contributing the MCD signal increases. Assuming all clusters contribute to the MCD signal and calculating the effective material thickness of MnAs in the granular film to be about 3 nm, the MCD signal enhancement compared to bulk MnAs is about five. Here we estimate that the penetration depth of the light into bulk MnAs is not less than 30 nm.
