چکیده

The effects of exchange coupling on magnetic switching properties of all-garnet multilayer thin film structures are investigated. All-garnet structures are fabricated by sandwiching a magneto-soft material of composition type Bi1.8Lu1.2Fe3.6Al1.4O12 or Bi₃Fe₅O12:Dy₂O₃ in between two magneto-hard garnet material layers of composition type Bi₂Dy₁Fe₄Ga₁O12 or Bi₂Dy₁Fe₄Ga₁O12:Bi₂O₃. The fabricated RF magnetron sputtered exchange-coupled all-garnet multilayers demonstrate a very attractive combination of magnetic properties, and are of interest for emerging applications in optical sensors and isolators, ultrafast nanophotonics and magneto-plasmonics. An unconventional type of magnetic hysteresis behavior not observed previously in magnetic garnet thin films is reported and discussed.

Structures in superconducting YBa2Cu3OT_~ thin films investigated by magneto-optic technique

Using a reflection magneto-optic technique we have investigated natural inhomogeneities and artificial struetures in YBCO thin films exposed to an external magnetic field. The artificial structures were mechanically scratched by scanning a diamond tip with different loading over the film, surface. AIternatively planar structures with reduced oxygen content could be patterned by heating the YBCO...

Magneto-Optical Faraday Effect of YIG Films with Random Multilayer Structures

Magneto-optical Faraday effect of Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi:YIG) films with random multilayer structures was analyzed by using the random matrix approach. It was found that the random multilayer structure is very effective for enhancing the Faraday effect of the Bi:YIG film, which is much superior than that of the periodic multilayer films.

Geometry Induced Magneto-optic Effects in Lpe Grown Magnetic Garnet Films

This dissertation addresses dimensionality-induced magneto-optic effects in liquid-phaseepitaxy magnetic garnet thin films. It is found that the Faraday rotation (FR) per unit length evinces a marked and steady enhancement as the film thickness is reduced below ~100 nm in Bi0.8Gd0.2Lu2Fe5O12, although it remains constant in the micronand most of the submicron-regime. The reported specific FR ch...
