The chemical compositions of the films prepared in this study are Y 2 BiFe 5 O 12 (YBFO), Y 3 Fe 4 GaO 12 (YFGO), and Y 2 BiFe 4 GaO 12 (YBFGO). Epitaxy of these films was confirmed by x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering (RBS) measurements. Full width of half maximum values of the 444 diffraction peaks of YFGO and YBFGO were 0.4°and 0.04°, respectively. RBS channeling was clearly observed for the YFGO film with a minimum yield min along the [111] direction of ϳ7.5%. These garnet films could also be reproducibly obtained by the MOD method without any deterioration in the MOD solutions over two years.
