In recent work, tailoring the shape of the bubbles is considered a key factor for their dynamics in spintronic devices. In addition to the reported circular, elliptical, and square bubbles, here we observe triangular bubble domains in bismuth-doped yttrium iron garnet(Bi-YIG) using Kerr microscopy. The bubble domains evolve from discrete circular to latticed triangular and hexagonal shapes. Further, the orientation of the triangular bubbles in the hexagonal lattices can be flipped by decreasing the magnetic field. The sixfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy of Bi-YIG(111) crystal, which is presumably the mechanism underlying the triangular shape of the bubbles, is measured as1179 erg/cm~3. The study of the morphologies of topologically trivial bubbles in YIG offers insight into nontrivial spin textures, which is appealing for future spintronic applications.展开更多

The garnet ferrites samples were prepared by the ceramic technique, and X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the formation of single cubic phase. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and a superconducting quantum-interference device (SQUID) were used to measure the magnetic properties, especially the magnetization and thermo-magnetic behavior. The magnetization curves exhibit the typical characteristics of ferrimagnetic materials at both 4.2 K and at room temperature. The samples have a low coercivities (between 20 and 40 Oe) and saturation magnetizations as high as 36 emu/g at 4.2 K. The saturation magnetization decreases with V and Ca contents, reaching about 8 emu/g at 4.2 K (x = 1). For all samples, the saturation magnetization decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the Curie temperature increases for small values of x, from 557 K for x = 0 to a maximum of 590 K for x = 0.2. For larger values of x, it decreases and reaches 525 K for x = 1.0. The basic experimental trends reflect the occupancy of the tetrahedral 24d sites by vanadium in combination with the predominant intersublattice exchange constant Jad, although the nonzero magnetization at x = 1.0 indicates that about 10% of the substituted V atoms goes onto the octahedral 16a sites.展开更多

Structural and ferromagnetic resonance characterizations demonstrated the high epitaxial quality, extremely low magnetic loss and coherent strain state in these films. Using these epitaxial films as model systems, we systematically investigated the evolution of magnetic anisotropy(MA) with epitaxial strain and chemical doping. For both the YIG and Bi:YIG films, the compressive strain tends to align the magnetic moment in the film plane while the tensile strain can compete with the demagnetization effect and stabilize perpendicular MA. We found that the strain-induced lattice elongation/compression along the out-of-plane [111] axis is the key parameter that determines the MA. More importantly, the strain-induced tunability of MA can be enhanced significantly by Bi doping;meanwhile, the ultralow damping feature persists. We clarified that the cooperation between strain and chemical doping could realize an effective control of MA in garnet-type ferrites, which is essential for spintronic applications.展开更多

The influence of initial Y/Fe mole ratio and calcination temperature on the nature, purity, phase structure, and morphology of the product was investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier-transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy,energy-dispersive(EDX) X-ray spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM).The results show that the transformation of the as-synthesized YIG from amorphous to orthorhombic and finally to cubic phase occurs with the increase of annealing temperature. On this basis, the pure cubic phase YIG can be obtained by calcination(at 1100℃) of the precursor which is prepared using the hydrothermal treatment of mole ratio of Y:Fe = 1:1.5 exposure to an ammonia atmosphere. Also, the initial Y/Fe mole ratio of 1:1 and calcination temperature of 1000 ℃ are the optimal conditions to form single-phase nanocrystalline YIP. Further, vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM) measurements illustrate the average magnetic saturation, coercivity and remanence of 2.73 and 15.00 emu/g, 42.74 and40.02 Oe, and 1.65 and 4.30 emu/g for YIP and YIG nanocrystals, revealing their soft ferromagnetic character.展开更多
