Interface driven magnetic interactions in nanostructured thin films of iron nanocrystallites embedded in a copper matrix

Nanostructured Iron-nickel Thin Films Synthesized by Electroless Polyol Deposition

FexNi100-x thin films were deposited on conductive (Cu) and non-conductive (Pd activated glass) substrate using an electroless, polyol method. The stoichiometry of film composition, as compared to the precursor concentration, strongly depended on the substrate position. When the substrate was immersed in the refluxing solution, Fe-deficient films were deposited. However Fe-rich films were synth...

Magnetic Properties of Nanostructured CoPt and FePt Thin Films

Polycrystalline MgO underlayer films lead to different preferred orientations of 10 CoPt and FePt films after the annealing process, depending on the thickness of 10 films. 10 films with a thickness greater than 20 nm revealed mostly 10 [100] fiber texture and consequently in-plane anisotropy as determined by magnetic hysteresis. Strong perpendicular anisotropy due to the 10 [001] fiber texture...

Magnetic Behavior of Surface Nanostructured 50-nm Nickel Thin Films

Thermally evaporated 50-nm nickel thin films coated on borosilicate glass substrates were nanostructured by excimer laser (0.5 J/cm(2), single shot), DC electric field (up to 2 kV/cm) and trench-template assisted technique. Nanoparticle arrays (anisotropic growth features) have been observed to form in the direction of electric field for DC electric field treatment case and ruptured thin film (...

Nanostructured FePt:B2O3 thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Scanning Electron Microscopic Characterization of Copper (II) Phthalocyanine Nanocrystallites Thin Films Deposited on Technologically Important Substrates

Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) demonstrates spectacular changes in the morphology of thin films of copper (II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) deposited on gold coated quartz substrates at different substrate temperatures, and on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates at room temperature followed by post deposition annealing at various temperatures under normal atmosphere. The nature of s...
