New Class Of Garnet Nanocomposites For Use In Magnetic Photonic Crystals Prepared By Rf Magnetron Co-Sputtering, Mohammad Nur E Alam, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

A new class of magneto-optic garnet nanocomposite materials is prepared using two Bi-substituted iron garnet materials of composition types (Bi,Dy) 3(Fe,Ga)5O12 and Bi3Fe 5O12. A composition adjustment approach is applied by varying the radio frequency (RF) powers driving each sputtering target during the deposition process. This new class of nanocomposite materials exhibits simultaneously high specific Faraday rotation, MO figure of merit, and effective uniaxial magnetic anisotropy after being crystallized through optimized annealing processes. We demonstrate experimentally that the excellent combination of materials' properties obtained in this garnet nanocomposite is particularly advantageous for developing magneto-photonic crystals as well as optical sensors …

We investigate the properties and applications of newly-developed RF-sputtered nano-composites with record-high magneto-optic quality (exceeding 25° at 532 nm and 42° at 635 nm). Bi-substituted dysprosium-gallium iron garnet layers with excess co-sputtered bismuth oxide content are demonstrated to possess very attractive optical and magnetic properties, which makes them suitable for novel magneto-optic and nanophotonic applications.
