Annealing Temperature Dependence of Magnetic and Optic Properties of Bi:YIG Films Deposited with Aerosol Deposition Method

Characterization of as-deposited and sintered yttrium iron garnet thick films formed by aerosol deposition

“…The ability of the ADM to form dense thick films at room temperature over a broad range of material systems makes this a novel method for applications to direct-write integrated magnetics onto electronic circuits where low-temperature deposition and thick films are required. 14) In this study, we employ a newly built ADM system to create thick polycrystalline YIG films on sapphire at room temperature. We sintered the films postdeposition at 700, 900, and 1280 °C to increase the film density.…”
