Pc. Dorsey et al., MAGNETIC AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PULSED-LASER DEPOSITED EPITAXIAL Y3FE5O12 FILMS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 3069-3071
Epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 films were grown on (111) gadolinium gallium garnet
substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The results d
emonstrated that epitaxial YIG films could be prepared under a wide ra
nge of deposition conditions, but narrow linewidth (DELTAH congruent-t
o 1 Oe) films were produced only at low oxygen partial pressures and r
elatively high substrate temperatures. In addition, the films exhibite
d a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy parameter which changed sign from neg
ative to positive with increasing oxygen partial pressure.
