“…Rare-earth iron garnets are an important class of magneto-optical materials that are widely applied in photonics and spintronics for developing light modulators, circulators, , optical isolators, , magnetophotonic crystals, magnetic field sensors, , magnetic memory, magnetic data storage devices, and nonreciprocal elements of waveguide photonics . Among various garnets, Bi/YIG is one of the most extensively studied and widely used materials for the abovementioned applications due to a high magneto-optical figure of merit. , Conventional methods of Bi/YIG synthesis include liquid-phase epitaxy, , pulsed laser deposition, , sputtering, , sol–gel, and metal–organic decomposition (MOD) .…”
