| description | Due to recent advances in communication systems, dielectric and magnetic ceramics (ferrites) are attractive for use in devices. Spinel-type ferrites were the first material utilized in microwave devices; however, yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has low dielectric losses and is exploited in many applications. Owing to its high Faraday rotation, YIG films are utilized in magneto-optical applications. This study intends to examine the research trends and scientific research progress on highly cited papers discussing YIG films published between 2012 and 2022 using a bibliometric method. A comprehensive review of 100 scientific papers about YIG was performed from the Scopus database. The assessment of these highly cited papers was highlighted based on the following factors: publication trends and performance, limitations/research gaps, keywords, sub-fields, methodology journal evaluations, document type evaluation, issues, difficulties, solutions, and applications as well as guiding future YIG research. The majority of publications (99%) comprise experimental analysis, whereas 1% provide a based state-of-the-art overview. Ninety-one percent of articles focused on magnetization characterization. This bibliometric survey indicates that YIG film research is an expanding and developing field. The results of the data analysis can be utilized to improve the researchers’ understanding of YIG research and to encourage additional study in this area. |
