| Abstract |
| Bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi:YIG,Bi0.5Y2.5Fe5O12) films were deposited with aerosol deposition method and their magnetic and optical properties were investigated as a function of annealing temperature. Since the ceramic films deposited with aerosol deposition method have not a perfect crystal structure due to non-uniform internal stress occurred by mechanical collision during their deposition, the post annealing could be a key process to release its internal stress and to improve its micro structure for optimizing the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of films. The crystallinity of Bi: YIG film was improved with increase of annealing temperature, and the saturation magnetization increased up to 87 emu/cc at 800℃. The Faraday rotation increased up to 1.4deg/µmby annealing at 700℃ around the wavelength of 0.5µm. The optical transmittance of the Bi:YIG film was also improved in visible region. |
