Abstract
An impurity in the vicinity of the Fe-57 nucleus induces a specific structu re of satellite lines in the NMR spectrum, the intensities of which are pro portional to the impurity concentration. Recently achieved sensitivity make s it possible to detect as little as 0.02% impurity. Spectra of nominally p ure YIG epitaxial films, containing Pb, Ga, Al, Si, Pt, Ca impurities and ' antisite' defects are presented to illustrate the approach. (C) 1999 Elsevi er Science B.V.
