Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of bismuth-substituted lutetium iron garnet films

Synthesis of Bi–Lu-Substituted Iron Garnet Films for Visualization of Magnetic Flux in High-TcSuperconductors

“…According to the study by Hansen et al, the uniaxial anisotropy of Lu-Bi films increases with decreasing temperature due to the increments of growth-induced anisotropy. 15) In our case, the growth-induced anisotropy may not be completely removed with annealing, which probably results in the increment of K u . The sign of K u changed to positive at 78 K, however, the anisotropy field of 2K u =M s is smaller than the demagnetizing field of M s = 0 ( 0 is permeability of vacuum), which indicates that the film maintains the in-plane magnetic anisotropy.…”

Element selective X-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroisms in ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet films

“…Many of the current applications, e.g. as optical isolators, stem from the remarkable property of Bi-substituted iron garnets to be highly transparent in the near IR spectral range while they exhibit a huge specific Faraday rotation [16][17][18][19]. Moreover, for given orientations of the substrates, these films may also show giant linear magnetoelectric effects [20] and a fairly large efficiency in second harmonic generation (SHG) [21,22].…”
