Magneto-optical properties of Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet films by metal-organic decomposition method

Nd3-xBixFe4GaO12(x = 2, 2.5) films on glass substrates prepared by MOD method

“…We have reported that metal-organic decomposition ( MOD) method is promising to obtain high quality garnet films with high-bismuth content because they are advantageous not only for homogeneity of the thin film, the controllability of composition, and formation over large area but also for the good productivity and stability of the MOD solution for more than several years [11][12][13][14][15][16] . In previous work, we have also reported that Nd 2 BiFe 4 GaO 12 (Bi1:NIGG) layer is effective as a buffer layer to obtain Y 2 Bi 2.5 Fe 5 O 12 , x = 2.5, on glass substrates 15 .…”

Influence of Substrate Stage Temperature and Rotation Rate on the Magneto-Optical Quality of RF-Sputtered Bi2.1Dy0.9Fe3.9Ga1.1O12 Garnet Thin Films

“…They possess record-high Faraday or Kerr effects simultaneously with low optical losses in parts of the visible and near-infrared regions and are starting to become highly sought after for the development of cost-effective and reliable photonic devices and sensors. Since the 1960s, Bi-substituted MO garnet thin films have been fabricated with different compositional stoichiometries using deposition technologies such as Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), Liquid-Phase Epitaxy (LPE), Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS), Reactive Ion Beam Sputtering (RIBS), metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), sol-gel technique, and radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, and using other material synthesis systems [5,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. All of these physical vapor deposition techniques require complex and multiparameter process optimizations at both the deposition and annealing (crystallization) stages.…”

Magneto-optical imaging using a garnet indicator film prepared on glass substrates

“…In the MOD method, chemically stable carboxylic acid is used as a solvent. Recently it has been reported that Bi-YIG thin films have been fabricated by the MOD method, so this is the method we have used [14][15][16][17][18]. In the MOD method crystallization is achieved through heating after spreading a solution on the substrate.…”
