Abstract
Electronic stopping power threshold of damage creation in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been determined by extrapolation using the known model for nuclear and electronic damage creation calibrated by 2 MeV alpha and 510 MeV argon irradiations respectively. This value is equal 4.5$1.0 keV/nm and its is three times lower than the dE/dx value at which chemical etching appears indicating that electronic stopping power damage can exist at very low value of dE/dx for non radiolytic insulating materials.Keywords
