Insulating rare earth iron garnets (RIG), with low Gilbert damping, low pinning, and magnetic and angular momentum compensation points, show great promise for the field of spintronics[1]. Here we grow high quality TmIG (Tm₃Fe₅O₁₂)films by pulsed laser deposition. Over a range of thicknesses, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is observed, tailored by lattice strain between film and substrate. Utilizing the (inverse) spin Hall effect in a neighboring heavy metal layer, electrical detection and control of the magnetic state is successfully achieved for low current densities. We investigate the switching of TmIG films as a function of in-plane and out of plane magnetic fields, highlighting a thickness dependence to the efficiency of the interfacial spin orbit torques in such an insulating system.
