A new technique to grow incongruent melting Ga:YIG crystals: the edge-defined film-fed growth method
A system for growing Ga-doped yttrium iron garnet (YIG) single crystals by the edge-defined film-fed growth method was designed and constructed, and the mechanism of crystal growth was also preliminarily studied. The Ga3+ dopant concentration, the Curie temperature and the transmission spectra of as-grown crystals were investigated to evaluate their potential application in magneto-optical devices.
