途に対して特に優れた製造方法である。(Function) The magneto-optical element of the present invention is capable of arbitrarily switching between a transparent state and an opaque state by using the magneto-optic effect of BiYIC. More specifically, the magneto-optical effect used in the present invention is called the Cotton-Mouton effect or magnetic birefringence effect, which occurs when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the direction of incidence of light to align the direction of magnetization. It is an effect. At this time, BiY
Since IG is used in the form of fine particles dispersed in a resin binder, the birefringence effect differs depending on the location. This means scattering of light, so if the direction of magnetization is aligned perpendicular to the direction of light incidence, an opaque state can be created. To achieve a transparent state, the directions of magnetization may be varied by, for example, alternating current demagnetization. Also BiYIG
Since it is a magnetic material, as long as the directions of -degree magnetization are aligned, the magnetic force is maintained even without applying a magnetic field. Although there are various methods for producing fine particles, such as a CVD method and a pulverization method, it is preferable to use a coprecipitation method. The coprecipitation method is a method in which an alkali is added to nitrate to precipitate heavy metal elements, which have a smaller ionization tendency than the alkali, as hydroxides, and then calcined to obtain the desired BiYIG. The coprecipitation method is a particularly excellent manufacturing method for the purpose of the present invention because the particle size can be changed depending on the manufacturing conditions, and it can be produced inexpensively and in large quantities.
