Abstract

We describe the experimental studies of both domain and crystal defect structure of magneto-optical bismuth-substituted ferrite-garnet films (FGF) with high Faraday effect. Indentation and scratching (sclerometric) tests of either magnetically uniaxial or easy plane anisotropy (“planar”) films were carried out in parallel with traditional chemical etching. We demonstrate the effect of strong local changes of magnetic anisotropy on the domain structure due to local mechanical stresses. New types of biperiodic domain structure imposed by external stresses were found to exist.
