Abstract  Liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) is a mature technology. Early experiments on single magnetic crystal films fabricated by LPE were focused mainly on thick films for microwave and magneto-optical devices. The LPE is an excellent way to make a thick film, low damping magnetic garnet film and high-quality magneto-optical material. Today, the principal challenge in the applied material is to create sub-micrometer devices by using modern photolithography technique. Until now the magnetic garnet films fabricated by LPE still show the best quality even on a nanoscale (about 100 nm), which was considered to be impossible for LPE method.
Keywords:  liquid phase epitaxy (LPE)      magnetic garnet      magneto-optical      spintronics      magnonics
