The epitaxial iron-yttrium garnet films with homogeneous properties and narrow FMR line width

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...

Anisotropy of Ruthenium-substituted Yttrium-iron-garnet

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...

Yttrium Iron Garnet Thin Films with Very Low Damping Obtained by Recrystallization of Amorphous Material.

We have investigated recrystallization of amorphous Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) by annealing in oxygen atmosphere. Our findings show that well below the melting temperature the material transforms into a fully epitaxial layer with exceptional quality, both structural and magnetic. In ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) ultra low damping and extremely narrow linewidth can be observed. For a 56 nm thick ...

Magnetic Anisotropy and Phase Transitions in Co-Doped Yttrium Iron Garnet Films

YIG:Co,Ca,Ge films grown on (001) plane substrate were investigated down to liquid helium temperatures using torque anisometry technique. Successively lowering temperature spin-reorientational transitions were observed between following easy magnetization axes (EMA) orientations: (i) at room temperature four EMA inclined to the film plane from [I 111 directions; (ii) two EMA near the [I101 and ...
