Abstract:
This paper focuses on strong magneto-optical thin films that closely match a Si substrate. The orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure of CeFeO3 was optimized to a cubic perovskite structure by introducing strontium and vanadium ions into lattice. The cubic Ce1-xSrxFe1-xVxO3 (x = 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) thin films with high quality and high growth orientation were prepared on a Si substrate by using the RF magnetron sputtering method. Moreover, the birefringence effect, which may weaken the magneto-optical effect, should not occur in the cubic thin film. The calculation results based on density functional theory show that the increased electronic transition probability is attributed to the strong spin-coupling between the hybrid Ce3+ 4f and Fe3+/V4+ 3d states. The magnetic circular dichroism ellipticity vertical bar Psi(F)| of the Ce0.7Sr0.3Fe0.7V0.3O3 thin film is up to 4300 deg. cm(-1), which indicates a strong magneto-optical effect. Therefore, the cubic Ce1-xSrxFe1-xVxO3/Si film with high Ce3+ concentration is expected to be a new candidate for integrated magneto-optical devices.
