Universidad de Zaragoza Chemical solution synthesis and ferromagnetic resonance of epitaxial thin films of yttrium iron garnet 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted We report the fabrication of epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) thin films on Gd3Ga5O12 (111) using a chemical solution method. Cubic YIG is a ferrimagnetic material at room temperature, with excellent magneto-optical properties, high electrical resistivity, and a very narrow ferromagnetic resonance, which makes it particularly suitable for applications in filters and resonators at microwave frequencies. But these properties depend on the precise stoichiometry and distribution of Fe3+ ions among the octahedral/tetrahedral sites of a complex structure, which hampered the production of high-quality YIG thin films by affordable chemical methods. Here we report the chemical solution synthesis of YIG thin films, with excellent chemical, crystalline, and magnetic homogeneity. The films show a very narrow ferromagnetic resonance (long spin relaxation time), comparable to that obtained from high-vacuum physical deposition methods. These results demonstrate that chemical methods can compete to develop nanometer-thick YIG films with the quality required for spintronic devices and other high-frequency applications. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E26 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU014-02546 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2014-51982-C2 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2016-80762-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2017-82970-C2-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.0 2017 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 284 / 285 = 0.996 2017 Q4 T3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-0400-8600 Jimenez-Cavero, P.
