The effect of target rotation rate on the structural and morphological properties of pulsed laser
deposition grown Bi:YIG garnets is investigated. The rotation rate dependence of the surface
morphology and magnetic properties of the thin films were studied using atomic force microscopy
combined with a magneto-optical measurement setup. The results show that decrease in the target
rotation rate can also increase the roughness, the index of refraction, and the surface skewness and can
decrease Faraday rotation by an order of magnitude
