Influence of Sputtered ZnO and Al:ZnO Top Layers on Magneto-Optic Responses of Yttrium Iron Garnet Films

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a promising material for combining with magneto-optic (MO) materials because it can propagate stable exciton-polaritons, with velocities considerably lower than that of photons in a vacuum. This study investigated the influence of sputtered ZnO and Al:ZnO top layers on MO respons...
