| description | The mechanism of the influence of crystal inhomogeneities on the magnetic and domain microstructures of functional materials based on yttrium iron garnet heterostructures is an important subject of investigation due to the aim to predict parameters for manufacturingpurposes. A study of the structural and magnetic characteristics of a set of yttrium iron garnet films grown on gadolinium–gallium garnet substrate is presented. High-resolution X-ray diffractometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy, MFM, as well as ion implantation simulation and X-ray diffraction simulation were used together to determine the features of the effect of Ne<sup>+</sup> ion implantation with different dose rates on the samples. The simulation of ion implantation with <i>E</i> = 82 keV showed energy loss profiles of Ne ions with subsequent defect formation up to amorphization of near-surface layers at high doses. Implantation creates two magnetically non-equivalent types of tetrahedrally located Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions, which leads to a rotation of the total magnetic moment relative to the film surface and a change in the width of the magnetic domain stripes. |
