Magneto-optical Faraday effect is widely applied in optical devices and is indispensable for optical communications and advanced information technology. However, the bismuth garnet Bi-YIG is only the Faraday material since 1972. Here we introduce (Fe, FeCo)-(Al-,Y-fluoride) nanogranular films exhibiting giant Faraday effect, 40 times larger than Bi-YIG. These films have a nanocomposite structure, in which nanometer-sized Fe, FeCo ferromagnetic granules are dispersed in a Al,Y-fluoride matrix.
磁光法拉第效应在光学器件中得到广泛应用,对于光通信和先进信息技术而言不可或缺。然而,自1972年以来,铋石榴石Bi-YIG一直是唯一的法拉第材料。在此,我们介绍了(铁、铁钴)-(铝、钇氟化物)纳米颗粒薄膜,其展现出巨大的法拉第效应,比Bi-YIG大40倍。这些薄膜具有纳米复合结构,其中纳米尺寸的铁、铁钴铁磁颗粒分散在铝、钇氟化物基质中。
