Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Magnetophotonic Crystals:Opal Thin Films Filled with Bi:YIG
Journal of Magnetics, Volume 11, Number 3, 30 Sep 2006, Pages 147-150
Abstract
We have fabricated three-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals based on a-SiO2 opal films. Opal thin films grown on glass substrates were filled with bismuth substituted iron garnet (Bi:YIG). Scanning electron microscopy data, optical and magnetic properties of the synthesized samples confirm the presence of the Bi:YIG contentin the opal lattice. It is shown that the samples exhibit the (111) stop band, and transmissivity of the threedimensional magnetophotonic crystals is defined by both the film lattice and the Bi:YIG content.
