Optical and magnetooptical properties of bismuth and gallium substituted iron garnet films

A series of iron garnet films of composition Lu Bi Fe Ga O grown on (100) oriented GGG substrates have been studied 3yx x 5yy y 12 using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry and polar Kerr spectroscopy (MOKE). The diagonal and off-diagonal components of the permittivity tensor have been determined in the range 1–5 eV. Our results seem to be in accordance with previously reported measuremen...

Microscopic spin-wave theory for yttrium-iron garnet films

Motivated by recent experiments on thin films of the ferromagnetic insulator yttrium-iron garnet (YIG), we have developed an efficient microscopic approach to calculate the spin-wave spectra of these systems. We model the experimentally relevant magnon band of YIG using an effective quantum Heisenberg model on a cubic lattice with ferromagnetic nearest neighbour exchange and long-range dipole-d...

Growth of thin Bi films on Wð110Þ

We report on the growth of single crystalline epitaxial Bi films on W(1 1 0). X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) reveal that Bi grows well ordered in the pseudocubic (0 0 1) orientation. The two-fold symmetric W(1 1 0) surface supports four different Bi(0 0 1) domains. The multi-domain nature is unambigously detected via LEED showing a peculiar spli...
