Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Single-crystal gadolinium gallium garnet films containing Bi impurity are grown on (111) Gd3Ga5O12 substrates by liquid-phase epitaxy from Bi2O3–B2O3 fluxes. The absorption spectra of the films are measured from 0.2 to 1.5 μm. The effect of Bi3+ impurity on the optical absorption in the films is examined.
