Abstract. With the use of magneto-optical Faraday effect effective field of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of iron garnet films is measured in vacuum and in the atmosphere of water vapor. It is established that a decrease of the mentioned field takes place due to adsorption of the water molecules by 20% in comparison with the value of field in vacuum. This result is in accordance with the conclusion reached on the base of investigation of influence of water molecules adsorption on domain structure of iron garnet films earlier.

AbstractSubmicron thick Bi, Ga substituted dysprosium iron garnet films were laser deposited on Gd3Ga5O12(GGG) and ceramic glass substrates at room temperature and then post annealed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). From Faraday rotation studies, the films deposited on glass substrates are found to exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, Faraday rotation of 0.88 deg / μm, and coercive field Hc of 0.88 kOe. On the other hand, films deposited on GGG substrates with the same processing parameters are found to exhibit perpendicular anisotropy, but with much smaller values for Faraday rotation(0.03 deg; μm) and coercive field Hc(0.018 kOe). The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with easy magnetization axis perpendicular to the film surface is caused by the stress induced on the polycrystalline film / substrate interface. The effect of changing the oxygen pressures, in the range of 20 to 100 mTorr during the deposition process, on the crystalline structure as well as coercive field and Faraday rotation angle are also presented.

AbstractAmong other magneto-optic materials bismuth substituted yttrium iron garnet (BixY1−x)3 Fe5O12 has the highest Faraday rotation effect in visible region. Completely substituted bismuth iron garnet Bi3Fe5O12 (BIG) films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition technique onto (111) (NdGd)3(ScGa)5O12 single crystal with lattice constant of 12.623 Å. X-ray diffraction proves epitaxial film quality. VSM measurements yield the saturation magnetization 4πMs, = 1100 G and coercive field is about 50 Oe. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) method reveals perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in fabricated films. Angular measurements of FMR give the constants of uniaxial and cubic anisotropy in BIG film: Ku = 5.9×104 erg/cm3 and K1= - 6.95×103 erg/cm3. The Faraday rotation has been found to reach - 7.8 deg/µm at 630 nm.
