Abstract

Sol–gel Y2.8-xCe0.2Er x Fe5O12 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0. 4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) nanofilms were successfully prepared for their potential use in nonreciprocal magneto-optical devices, such as isolators and circulators. The effect of Er-doped Ce-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Ce:YIG) was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), UV–vis spectrophotometry and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Analysis of the diffractograms indicated a cubic garnet structure and the incorporation of the Er3+ ions into the Ce: YIG. The absorption bands in IR spectra revealed the fingerprint of the YIG structure in the obtained films. The optical transparency of the Er-doped Ce:YIG samples was above 98% in the visible and near infrared region wavelengths. All samples were soft ferrimagnetic films, as indicated by their hysteresis loops and low magnetic coercivity fields (~50 Oe). As more erbium ions were introduced, the saturation magnetisation decreased and the magnetic coercivity increased. These findings suggest that Er-doped Ce:YIG films may have a promising role in magneto-optical applications.
