The spin wave circuit that the researchers built, consists of a 200 nanometre thin layer of yttrium iron garnet (a mineral and magnetic insulator, YIG in short), with a conducting platinum strip on top of that on both sides. (sciencedaily.com)
«One of the developments that makes our fabrication process innovative is that we deposited yttrium oxide (Y2O3) insulator directly onto the surface of the diamond [to form the gate],» said Liu. (sciencedaily.com)
This paper describes a method of preparing the precursor of cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG: Ce) followed by heat treatment at 1100 °C and surface modification by decorating with gold nanoparticles. (european-mrs.com)
