Topography and domain structures of Bi-substituted iron garnet films proposed for magnetoplasmonic applications are presented. Investigations were carried out by scanning probe microscopy methods, including polarization near-field optical microscopy. The most suitable films with less rough surface were chosen. The period of domain structure of sputtered film of composition Bi2.8Y0.2Fe5O12 were determined, 2w = 0.5 μm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
