Abstract
Spin orientations of a rare-earth iron garnet film grown by a liquid-phase-epitaxial method on a gadolinium gallium garnet substrate were determined as a function of depth by means of the depth-selective conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. The spin-tilt angle from the surface normal was found to increase from the bulk value up to 30° at the top of the surface. This phenomenon can be explained by the widening of the domain wall width toward the surface.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
