Abstract
This study investigates the magnetic properties of elongated YIG nanostructures fabricated via a sol-gel process combined with vacuum-assisted deposition into porous alumina membranes. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed successful nanopillar formation. Magnetic behavior was evaluated using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), revealing a remanence of 0.03 emu/g and a coercive field of 21 Oe, consistent with ferromagnetic behavior. FMR analysis indicated low magnetic anisotropy and a minimum linewidth at 40°, suggesting a hard magnetization axis at this angle. X-band magnetic shielding measurements yielded an average effectiveness of 0.55 dB. While modest, this result highlights the potential of YIG nanostructures in low-frequency shielding applications due to possible synergistic effects with the porous alumina matrix.
