| Abstract Scope |
Epitaxial films of materials are considered an important alternative to their single-crystal counterparts due to their cost-effective fabrication necessary for various optical, magneto-optic, and optoelectronic devices. However, the sol-gel spin-coating film deposition method has been a less considered approach for the growth of epitaxial garnet films. In this study, undoped and Nd3+-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG and Nd:YAG) films were deposited via the spin-coating method on the YAG single-crystal substrates. The crystal structure and morphology of the epitaxial films were investigated using the high-resolution XRD and atomic force microscopy, whereas the optical properties were deduced from the results of the UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements. This comprehensive study on the structural and optical properties of the prepared films enabled the discussion on the structural relationship between the substrates and YAG and Nd:YAG films deposited via the spin-coating, films’ defect structure, and related optical properties. |
