YIG Film for Magnetic Field Sensor

چکیده
Single crystal Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) lm was grown onto (111) oriented gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate by the liquid phase epitaxy (PLD) technique. The X-ray di raction measurements showed that epitaxial growth of the lm along its (111) axis. The surface characteristic was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurement. The magnetic eld sensor consisted of a rectangular shape with 5 mm wide, 15 mm long and 5 μm thick YIG lm and a pair of identical 50 μm wide microstrip copper transducers elements separated by 6 mm. The lter was tested by measuring re ection S11 characteristic at various bias magnetic elds. The results have showed that when the bias eld increased from 0 to 2.5 kOe, the frequency value corresponding to S11 maxima increased from 1 GHz to 9 GHz. This suggests that the wide range magnetic eld sensing and the highly sensitive eld sensing are simultaneously ful lled with the YIG lm.

Fast, Sensitive Magnetic-Field Sensors Based on the Faraday Effect in YIG
We characterize magnetic-field sensors based on the Faraday effect in ferrimagnetic iron garnets in terms of their sensitivity, speed, and directionality. Signal-to-noise measurements at 80 Hz on small (typically 5 mm diameter x 3 mm long) samples of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) yield noise equivalent magnetic fields of 10 nT /.JHz. Frequen~y response measurements exhibit virtually flat response t...

Two yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) oscillator technologies are comparerk the more mature YIG sphere oscillator technology which is based on the uniform (resonant) precession of the electron spins in a smafl sphere of YIG, and the new planar YIG technology which utilizes the propagation of magnetostatic waves in an epitaxiaf film of YIG. The YIG sphere technology has been used for microwave oscillato...

Thin (4-20 nm) yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12, YIG) layers have been grown on gadolinium gallium garnet (Gd3Ga5O12, GGG) 111-oriented substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy in 700-1000 °C growth temperature range. The layers were found to have atomically flat step-and-terrace surface morphology with step height of 1.8 Å characteristic for YIG(111) surface. As the growth temperature is increa...

An interface electron state at the junction between a three-dimensional topological insulator film, Bi2Se3, and a ferrimagnetic insulator film, Y3Fe5O12 (YIG), was investigated by measurements of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption magnetic circular dichroism. The surface state of the Bi2Se3 film was directly observed and localized 3d spin states of the Fe3+ in the YI...

The magnetic behavior and domain structure of Fe films grown on yttrium–iron–garnet ~YIG! underlayers were studied to elucidate their interlayer coupling, as a function of the Fe layer thickness, using magnetic force microscopy ~MFM! and magneto-optic Kerr effect ~MOKE!. The YIG layer, grown by liquid phase epitaxy on single crystal gadolinium–gallium–garnet ~GGG! substrates, showed a character...
