BaO(Fe₂O₃)₆ (BaM) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition on GaN/Al₂O₃ substrates. A pole figure obtained from the (006) reflection indicated that ~81% of the film volume had the c axis tilted less than 5° from the film normal. A low anisotropy field was inferred from vector coil vibrating sample magnetometer (VVSM) measurements. The reduction in Hₐ from literature values and a two-step switching of the easy axis magnetization is postulated to result from interdiffusion and misalignment effects. To alleviate interdiffusion and to improve the c-axis alignment, experiments were repeated with lower deposition temperatures, thinner films, and MgO buffer …

The phenomenological equations of motion for the relaxation of ordered phases of magnetized and polarized crystal phases can be developed in close analogy with one another. For the case of magnetized systems, the driving magnetic field intensity toward relaxation was developed by Gilbert. For the case of polarized systems, the driving electric field intensity toward relaxation was developed by Khalatnikov. The transport times for relaxation into thermal equilibrium can be attributed to viscous sound wave damping via magnetostriction for the magnetic case and electrostriction for the polarization case.

High ferromagnetic resonance frequencies and low linewidths in BaO(Fe₂O₃)₆ thin films are achieved by obtaining a low-dispersion of crystallite easy c axes normal to the film. X-ray diffraction and magnetic force microscopy are used to characterize texture and magnetic domain structure for a BaO(Fe₂O₃)₆ film deposited on (0001) SiC with a MgO (111) template layer. Strong c-axis texture normal to the film is observed resulting in strong uniaxial anisotropy. The consequent vector magnetization processes due to a combination of domain wall motion and magnetization rotation are characterized by two dimensional vector coil vibrating sample magnetometry (VVSM).

Barium hexaferrite (BaM) films were deposited on 10 nm MgO (111) films on 6H silicon carbide (0001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition from a homogeneous BaFe₁₂O₁₉ target. The MgO layer, deposited by molecular beam epitaxy, alleviated lattice mismatch and interdiffusion between film and substrate. X-ray diffraction showed strong crystallographic alignment while pole figures exhibited reflections consistent with epitaxial growth. After optimized annealing, these BaM films have a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field of 16 900 Oe, a magnetization (as 4πs) of 4.4 kG, and a ferromagnetic resonance peak-to-peak derivative linewidth at 53 GHz of 96 Oe, thus demonstrating sufficient properties for …
