Abstract: 

Magneto-optical properties of epitaxial single-crystalline yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) films grown on a gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate are investigated in a low frequency alternating electric field. The magnetoelectric effect, which manifests itself under the combined action of electric and magnetic fields, is revealed. The effect was observed by magneto-optical techniques. The interpretation of the obtained experimental results is given.

Keywords: 
magneto-electric effect, electric field, magnetic field, domain structure.
