Title: Hydrogen annealing effects on the optical absorption loss and lattice constant of Ca-doped YIG and BiGdAlGaIG films

Journal Article · · IEEE Translation Journal on Magnetics in Japan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (USA)

The effects of annealing in an H{sub 2} atmosphere on the optical absorption losses and lattice constants of Ca- and Si-doped YIG and Ca-doped (BiGd){sub 3}(FeAlGa){sub 5}O{sub 12} films grown by LPE, were studied. Hydrogen annealing was carried out at 150 to 500{degrees}C for 22 hours. The absorption losses and lattice constants in YIG films with poor impurities or with Si doping did not change with H{sub 2} annealing at 150 to 450{degrees}C; however, the values in Ca-doped YIG and Bi-substituted garnet films changed notably. The changes in absorption loss are explained by the reduction of Fe ions. The results presented show that H{sub 2} annealing is effective for obtaining iron garnet films with a high figure of merit.
