Magnetic garnet material, faraday rotator, optical device, bismuth-substituted rare earth-iron-garnet single-crystal film and method for producing the same and crucible for producing the same

摘要

Proposed is a technique of producing a magnetic garnet material of which the light absorption characteristics worsen little even though it is produced through LPE. The crucible for LPE is formed of a material containing Au. The amount of Au to be taken in single crystal formed in an Au crucible is smaller than that of Pt to be taken therein formed in a Pt crucible. As compared with Pt, the influence of Au on magnetic garnet film that increases the insertion loss in the film is small.
