Plasma-activated chemical vapor deposition of bismuth-substituted iron garnets for magneto-optical data storage

Application-Specific Oxide-Based and Metal–Dielectric Thin-Film Materials Prepared by Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

“…Through nanoengineering, garnet thin films can be controlled at the atomic level to attain naturally unachievable photonic and magnetic properties that open the way towards the development of magnetophotonic and magneto-plasmonic crystals (MPCs) for a wide range of applications, including telecommunication, biomedicine, digital forensics, sensing, and data processing. Thin-film garnets have a long history that started since they were developed in 1960 for the first time for use in bubble memory device applications [39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59]. The properties of thin garnet films are always dependent on their fabrication methods, process parameters, and especially on the stoichiometry of the material.…”

High-performance RF-sputtered Bi-substituted iron garnet thin films with almost in-plane magnetization

“…Highly bismuth (Bi)-substituted MO garnet materials developed using RF magnetron sputtering are potentially very attractive for use in various technological applications such as magnetic memory, magnetoplasmonic devices, magneto-optic sensors, lightwave polarization controllers, and MO spatial or temporal light modulators [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Next-generation ultra-fast optoelectronic devices, such as light intensity switches and modulators for optical communications, high-sensitivity sensors for applications ranging from industrial and environmental or medical diagnostics, and high-speed flat panel displays for consumer electronics will likely benefit from using high-performance MO garnet materials [3,4,7,9].…”
