Abstract :
LPE grown, substituted YIG crystals have coercivities (Hc) in the 10-1Oe range, depending on compositions and growth conditions. Dislocations, inclusions and surfaces cannot be fully responsible for the observed Hc. TEM investigations of CaGeSmYIG films have revealed a periodically modulated stress field that - via magnetostrictive stresses - may explain the FMR line broadening and the measured Hc. Stresses of 107dyne cm-2and \\Delta a/a \\simeq 10^{-5} with a periodicity of 500 Å produce H_{c} \\simeq 1 Oe corresponding to a periodic fluctuation of Sm or Ca-Ge content by 1-3%. The mechanism, thought to be the spinodal decomposition of the garnet, causes FMR line broadening up to 200-300 Oe, i.e. more than the relaxation of Sm3+ions.
