Title of Thesis: GROWTH AND FMR CHARACTERIZATION OF IN-PLANE MAGNETIZATION GARNET THIN-FILMS Degree Candidate: Jing Zhang Degree and Year: Master of Science, 2004 Thesis directed by: Professor Isaak D. Mayergoyz Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Planar magnetization Bi-doped garnet thin-films were successfully grown for magneto-optical imaging applications. These films are grown using the liquid phase epitaxy method, which produces single crystal, high quality films. The melt composition that is used to grow these garnets is selected in order to produce planar magnetization films with low magneto-crystalline and uniaxial anisotropies. Also, this melt composition is designed to incorporate more bismuth into the film, thereby increasing the specific Faraday rotation of the film. This effectively tailors the films to be highly sensitive to spatial magnetic field distributions. The garnet films that are grown from this process are characterized by measuring their ferromagnetic resonance, which allows their magneto-crystalline and uniaxial anisotropies to be determined. An imager system that utilizes these garnet films has also been developed to visualize magnetic recording from cassette tapes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses these captured images for forensic applications. GROWTH AND FMR CHARACTERIZATION OF IN-PLANE MAGNETIZATION GARNET THIN-FILMS

Pulsed laser deposition of high-quality μm-thick YIG films on YAG
We report the epitaxial growth of high-quality μm-thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films on yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The effects of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure on composition, crystallinity, optical transmission and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth have been investigated. An FMR linewidth as low as 1.75 mT at 6 GHz was achie...
متن کاملEpitaxially grown BaM hexaferrite films having uniaxial axis in the film plane for self-biased devices
Barium hexaferrite (BaM) films with in-plane c-axis orientation are promising and technically important materials for self-biased magnetic microwave devices. In this work, highly oriented BaM films with different thickness and an in-plane easy axis (c-axis) of magnetization were grown on a-plane single-crystal sapphire substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering. A procedure involving see...

متن کاملTORQUE MEASUREMENTS IN Ni-Ag MULTILAYERS
Torque measurements were carried out on Ni-Ag multilayers in the temperature range 6 to 300 K. From the analysis of the torque curves both magnetization (M) and anisotropy (K, ) were obtained. The K, values thus obtained for t ~ j > 4 nm are in good agreement with FMR data. For t ~ i < 3 nm, a small in-plane anisotropy of the order of 1 x lo6 erg.cm-3 is obtained at 6 K. We had recently reporte...
متن کاملFunctional mixture regression.
In functional linear models (FLMs), the relationship between the scalar response and the functional predictor process is often assumed to be identical for all subjects. Motivated by both practical and methodological considerations, we relax this assumption and propose a new class of functional regression models that allow the regression structure to vary for different groups of subjects. By pro...
