The concept of the layer-resolved optical conductivity
applied by means of a
conventional band structure method is introduced.
It is demonstrated that it allows for a detailed discussion
of the magneto-optical properties of magnetic multilayer systems.
In particular it is found that the
layer-projected optical conductivity
of an
atomic layer is influenced by only very few neighboring layers.
This property can be exploited within the
Baukasten principle that aims
to predict the magneto-optical properties of a
complex layer system from the properties
calculated for a closely related but simpler one.
