K. Hisatake et al., REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE RELAXATION OF MAGNETIC-PERMEABILITY IN PHOTOEXCITED YTTRIUM-IRON-GARNET, JPN J A P 1, 32, 1993, pp. 348-350
Photoinduced variation of magnetic complex permeability mu = mu' - jmu
'' at low frequency, e.g., 0. 14 kHz is studied as a function of tempe
rature in yttrium iron garnet (YIG). We have observed a new phenomenon
in YIG occurring solely after illuminated at low temperature; photoin
duced disaccommodation. We discussed an origin of the observation, tak
ing account of the charge state of oxygen vacancy and an interaction b
etween lattice relaxation and domain wall.
