Abstract

Currently, rare earth orthoferrites RFeO₃ crystals are gaining tremendous interests, thanks to their exotic magnetic, multiferroic and magneto-optical characteristics. This family displays distinctive advantages of ultrafast response in nanoseconds and much enhanced sensitivity for magneto-optical (MO) switches and isolators. Moreover, enriched magnetic transitions and ultrafast opto-magnetic modulation have been rationally achieved, favoring ultrafast magnetic recording with much lower energy consumption. This work comprehensively summarizes the recent advances of magneto-optical RFeO₃ single crystals, including the crystal growth, the regulation of magnetic properties and the tailoring of opto-magnetic interactions. The related mechanism for the modulation of magneto-optical interactions is also analyzed in details, facilitating deeper insight into the design and further exploration of RFeO₃ crystals for the potential applications in the fields of novel spintronic and ultrafast magneto-optical devices.

期刊介绍： The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
