Nitrogen incorporation effects in Fe„001... thin films

چکیده
Nitrogen incorporates into Fe thin films during reactively sputtered TiN capping layer deposition. The influence that this nitrogen incorporation has both on the structure and magnetic properties is discussed for a series of Fe~001! thin films grown at different temperatures. A higher nitrogen content is accompanied by distortion in the Fe lattice and by reduction in the Fe magnetization saturation as well as in the effective anisotropy constant, K. The reduction of K brings as a consequence lowering in the coercive field with respect to equivalent Fe films with no nitrogen present. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1368398#

Physical Properties of Reactively Sputter-Deposited C-N Thin Films
This work aims to prepare and study amorphous carbon nitride (CNx) films. Films were deposited by reactive magnetron radiofrequency (RF) sputtering from graphite target in argon and nitrogen mixture discharge at room temperature. The ratio of the gas flow rate was varied from 0.1 to 1. Deposited films were found to be amorphous. Highest Nitrogen concentration achieved was 42 atomic percent whic...
متن کاملSurfactant-Assisted Electrodeposition of CoFe-Barium Hexaferrite Nanocomposite Thin Films
The influences of anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and cationic Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) surfactants on the incorporation and distribution of barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in the electrodeposited CoFe-BaFe12O19 composite thin films were studied. Sulphate bathes with natural pH containing 0 to 2 g/L surfactants were used for electroplating at room temperature. Field emissi...
متن کاملInfluence of Co and Fe substitution on optical and structural properties of zinc oxide thin films
Zn0.97TM0.03O (TM = Co, Fe) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by the sol–gel method and the effects of transition metals substitution on structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the films have wurtzite structure. Optical transmittance of the films was recorded in the range of 200 -800 nm wave length and the band...
متن کاملElectrical properties of boron nitride thin films grown by neutralized nitrogen ion assisted vapor deposition
Boron nitride ~BN! thin films ~containing mixed cBN/hBN phase! have been deposited on Si~100! substrates using neutralized nitrogen beam and electron beam evaporation of boron. All as-deposited BN films were p type with a room-temperature carrier concentration in the range of 5310 to 1310 cm. The Mg-doped BN films showed carrier concentrations in the range of 1.2 310 cm to 5.2310 cm when the Mg...
متن کاملThe Effect of Sputtering Parameters and Doping of Copper on Surface Free Energy and Magnetic Properties of Iron and Iron Nitride Nano Thin Films on Polymer Substrate
The objective of this study was to deposit thin films on PET polymer substrate and examine the functional properties systematically. Their properties have been studied as a function of the N₂-Ar flow rates, deposition time span and Cu doping. Iron nitride film deposited on both sides exhibits ferromagnetic phases, γ'-Fe₄N and ε-Fe₃N co-existed, shows negligible magnetic anisotropy. Other sample...
