Abstract:
Partial substitution of small amounts of cobalt may result in a reduction in size of ''''bubble'''' magnetic domains in a variety of canted antiferromagnetic materials exemplified by rare earth orthoferrites. The reduction in domain size is ordinarily accomplished by virtue of a shift in the magnetic reorientation temperature, permitting improved device operation in this temperature region.
Abstract:
Dichroism for light as well as magnetic anisotropy may be optically induced in a crystalline material manifesting spontaneous magnetic polarization within which a magnet cation of a valence state other than the nominal value is permitted and within which such an ion may occupy either of at least two crystallographically equivalent but magnetically in equivalent sites. An example of such a material is silicon-doped YIG in which Fe2 may occupy any of four octahedral sites. Devices based on this phenomenon are described.
Abstract:
A low loss microwave transmission structure composed of a section of waveguide within which is concentrically placed an array (one or more) of cylindrical sections of dielectric material with relative dielectric constant greater than four, spaced away from the walls by a significant fraction of the radius (at least of the order of 10 percent) and possessing appreciable discontinuities. In the dielectric loaded sections electromagnetic radiation is propagated primarily within the dielectric so that the losses observed are mainly a function of the dielectric material and are, to first order, insensitive to the wall composition or condition. In this most general form the structure can by synthesized as a low loss filter or equalizer. When operated at frequencies at which the unloaded waveguide is below cutoff a high-Q cavity can be formed. A single section cavity of this type has been used to measure the Q of the low loss high dielectric constant dielectrics. A particularly simple and easily adjustable coaxial input and output structure is available which couples strongly to the cylindrically symmetric TM01 mode, all other propagating modes being greatly disfavored.
