Anisotropy of Ruthenium-substituted Yttrium-iron-garnet

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...

Synthesis of Iron Yttrium Garnet Nanoparticles by Reverse Microemulsion Method

Colloidal nanodispersion of Iron Yttrium Garnet has been preparedbymixing the two ternary mixture of Triton X-100 (surfactant), n-heptane and aqueous solution that differing only in the aqueous phase.Ethanolwas added as cosurfactant and mixed them by ultrasound bath. By mixing these twomicroemulsions, Iron Yttrium garnet (Y3 Fe5 O12) nanodispersionwas obtained. Solids were settled by centrifuge...

Single-Step Deposition of Cerium-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet for Monolithic On-Chip Optical Isolation

Photonic integrated circuits require magneto-optical (MO) materials for making nonreciprocal devices such as isolators and circulators. The most successful MO materials are rare-earth-substituted iron garnets, but these can be challenging to grow on silicon without a seed layer, which introduces spacing loss between the waveguide and the MO cladding. A pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method is us...
