Abstract

The ferrogarnet structures consisting from one- to three- layers of monocrystalline yttrium-iron garnet Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ (YIG) films, two- layered YIG - La,Ga:YIG and two- layered {Y,Sm,Lu}₃(Fe,Ga)₅O₁₂-YIG structures were grown by liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) method on gadolinium - gallium garnet Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ (GGG) substrates of (111) orientation. The obtained layered ferrogarnet structures were studied by the methods of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and magnetostatic wave (MSW) interference. The two- and three- layered YIG structures have a wide FMR line width (∆H). For the three- layered YIG structures with the total thickness of 68-102 μm ∆H = 5,7- 11,5 Oe. The line width ∆H = 0,34 – 1,22 Oe correspond to the two- layered (Y,Sm,La)₃(Fe,Ga)₅O₁₂ – YIG structures with thicknesses from 3 to 65 μm. Individual layers in all structures are characterized by similar or different saturation magnetizations (4πM_s).The frequency MSW separation in the YIG - La,Ga:YIG layered structure was observed. It was shown that the propagation losses of MSW in one- and two- layered structures increase with decreasing wavelength of MSW and transition to a two- layered structure.
