Barium and Strontium Ferrite Perpendicular Thin Film Media with a Sendust Soft Magnetic Underlayer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possibility of using sendust (FeAlSi) as the soft magnetic underlayer for hexagonal barium ferrite (BaM) and strontium ferrite (SrM) was studied. Sendust films were found to retain their soft magnetic properties with a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) at 800 C for 60 s, which is necessary to crystallize the as-deposited amorphous BaM and SrM films. Several film structures with sendust films as the soft underlayer were studied and compared. Strong hcp (00l) texture and bcc (110) texture were obtained on the BaM(SrM)/Pt/buffer/FeAlSi/Si multi-layer structure films, as indicated by the strong hcp (006), (008) and (0014) reflections for BaM(SrM) layer and bcc (110) reflection for the sendust underlayer from X-ray diffraction measurements.

Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular c-axis orientation and small grain size ~about 300 Å! were successfully fabricated with careful control of sputtering conditions. The c-axis orientation of barium ferrite thin films is most sensitive to the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. All samples with oxygen gas during deposition have a random c-axis texture, as indicated by existence ...

In this article, bulk and thin film samples of strontium ferrite have been studied. Due to the high electrical resistivity in strontium ferrite, energy loss due to eddy currents reduces and because of this, it can be used in high frequency magnetic circuits. On the other hand, strontium ferrite has attracted much attention as a permanent magnet. At first, we study the preparation process of b...

The effects of a Pt underlayer and a Pt interlayer on the textured growth of the sputtered strontium ferrite (SrM) films were investigated. The structural and magnetic properties of SrM films on the Pt underlayers were compared with SrM films on thermally oxidized Si substrates. It was found that much better (00 ) texture was obtained on the films with Pt underlayers, as indicated by the strong...

Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been prepared on heated (001) sapphire substrates by laser ablation deposition in an oxygen atmosphere using a KrF excimer laser. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal highly oriented films of the magnetoplumbite phase with a c-axis angular spread of 1.8”. Scanning electron micrographs reveal that these films are polycrystalline ...
