Magneto-Optical and Optical Investigation of the Surface Region of Ion implanted Garnet Films

In the present work we have shown the efficiency of complex investigation of the ion implanted garnet surface region by magneto-optical and optical methods. We have investigated the optical and magneto-optical properties of the ion-implanted (YBiCaSm)₃(FeGeSi)₅O₁₂ garnet films. It has shown that ion implantation influences significantly the magneto-optical properties of the garnet films and practically does not change its optical characteristics. We have also determined the spectral dependences of the component of the tensor of dielectric permittivity for the surface of ion implanted (YBiCaSm)₃(FeGeSi)₅O₁₂ ferrite-garnet films before and after implantation process. These calculations let us evaluate the influence of implantation on an electronic energy structure of the surface layer for the sample.
