Abstract

Epitaxial films of magnetically doped Sr Ti1-x Fex O3 (x≤0.5) were grown on (001) LaAl O3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Structural and magnetic studies indicate that the observed ferromagnetism is intrinsic rather than from an impurity phase. The higher transparency with Fe doping is attributed to charge compensation resulting from hole doping by Fe incorporation into the SrTi O3 lattice. Sr Ti0.6 Fe0.4 O3 has a reasonably high Faraday rotation of 0.078 degμm accompanied by low optical loss (0.07 dBμm), which makes it a promising candidate for integrated waveguide isolator applications.
