Abstract

Compositional and lattice constant control of non-magnetic garnet substrates are required for suitable lattice matching with epitaxially deposited magnetic thin film. Suitable substrates for this purpose are the simple and mixed rare earth garnets. Lattice constants were obtained on Czochralski grown crystals by conventional x-ray diffraction powder techniques with a precision of ± .0005Å. An x-ray fluorescence method was developed to determine crystal composition with a precision of ± 0.5 percent. The precision with which a can be determined indirectly by x-ray fluorescence is ± 0.0082Å, which is comparable with that from direct measurement.
