铋取代石榴石(Bi:YIG)薄膜具有较大的比法拉第旋角, 且可通过调控其易磁化轴垂直于薄膜表面和降低材料饱和磁化强度, 使其可工作在较小外加磁场下, 进而满足磁光器件小型化、节能化的发展需求. 本文基于对石榴石薄膜磁各向异性的理论分析, 采用液相外延(liquid-phase epitaxy, LPE)法在钆镓石榴石(gadolinium gallium garnet, GGG)基底上制备了单晶(BiTm)3(GaFe)5O12膜, 并研究了其磁各向异性性能. 研究发现, 当外延膜厚度大于1 μm时, 形状各向异性对磁各向异性产生的影响可以忽略; 随着生长温度的上升, 进入薄膜组分的Bi3+离子数量逐渐减少, 薄膜晶格常数逐渐减小, 薄膜的受力状态从压应力状态逐渐变为张应力; 相较于生长感生各向异性, 应力诱导的各向异性在磁各向异性的变化中占主导地位. (BiTm)3(GaFe)5O12膜的Verdet常数为11.8 × 104 rad/Tm@1064 nm, 是常用磁光材料TGG的3000倍; 其外加工作磁场小于200 Oe, 有利于实现磁光器件的小型化和薄膜化.Liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) is one of the best techniques for the preparation of single crystal garnet films. However, the specific Faraday rotation angle of Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is small, and its easy magnetization axis is parallel to the film surface. The YIG requires a large external saturation field, which cannot meet the development needs of magneto-optical devices. It is found that Bi-substituted YIG(Bi:YIG) film has a larger specific Faraday angle. By adjusting the easy magnetization axis of Bi: YIG perpendicular to the film surface, the saturation magnetization of Bi: YIG can be reduced, so that it can work under a small external magnetic field. This meets the development needs of miniaturization and energy saving of magneto-optical device. The saturation magnetization of garnet film can be effectively reduced by substituting Ga3+ for YIG crystal, mainly for Fe3+ at the 24d position of its tetrahedron. And the lattice constants of Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) and YIG are 1.2383 nm and 1.2376 nm, respectively. However, the radius of Bi3+ (10.8 nm) is larger than that of Y3+ (9.0 nm), the lattice mismatch of garnet film increases with the incorporation of Bi3+. In order to neutralize the lattice expansion caused by Bi3+, Tm3+ (8.69 nm) with a radius smaller than that of Y3+ (9.0 nm) is selected. Based on the theoretical analysis of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of garnet film, (BiTm)3(GaFe)5O12 mono-crystalline films with different growth temperatures and different thickness values are grown by LPE on GGG (111) substrates. The experimental results show that when the thickness of epitaxial film is greater than 1 μm, the influence of shape anisotropy on magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be ignored. With the increase of growth temperature, the substitution number of Bi3+ ions decreases gradually, the lattice constant of epitaxial film decreases gradually, and the lattice mismatch first decreases and then increases. Then, the state of compressive stress gradually changes into that of tensile stress. Compared with growth-induced anisotropy, the stress-induced anisotropy is dominant in the change of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The Verdet constant of (BiTm)3(GaFe)5O12 film is 11.8 × 104 rad/Tm@1064 nm. The results show that the prepared (BiTm)3(GaFe)5O12 mono-crystalline films have great development potential in magneto-optical devices.
