High-quality single-crystal thulium iron garnet films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by off-axis sputtering

High-quality single-crystal thulium iron garnet (TmIG) films of 10-30 nm thick were grown by off-axis sputtering at room temperature (RT) followed by post-annealing. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to determine the TmIG film composition to optimize the growth conditions, along wi...
