Abstract
Films of Y2R1(Fe, Ni)5O12 (R=Pr, Ce) have been epitaxially grown in situ on Gd3Ga5O12 (111) substrates by rf sputtering. Faraday rotation of Ce, Ni:YIG film decreased with valence change of Ce ions from 3+ to 4+ induced by Ni substitution. On the other hand, Pr, Ni:YIG films showed negative Faraday rotation in the visible which slightly increases in negative sign for Ni substitution. Magneto-optical spectrum measurement in a photon energy range extended to 4.2 eV indicated that the negative Faraday rotation in the visible is dominantly ascribed to a paramagnetic dispersion at 3.1 eV and the rotation increased by Ni substitution may be caused by spectral structure observed above 3.5 eV, associated with Pr4+.
