Fabrication of Ce:YIG film with different composition by pulsed-laser deposition

Ce-doped yttrium iron garnet (Ce:YIG) with different compositions of Y 2 CeFe 5 O 12 , Y 2 CeFe 4.25 Ga 0.75 O 12 , Y 1.6 Gd 0.4 CeFe 5 O 12 were deposited by PLD on GGG(111) SUBSTRATE. The crystallinity, transmittance and surface morphology were observed for the films deposited at different depositions conditions of argon or oxygen gas pressures and substrate temperatures.
