An optimized alternating target laser ablation deposition (ATLAD) technique has been developed to grow high quality barium hexaferrite (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) thin films on basal plane oriented sapphire(Al₂O₃) substrates from barium monoferrite (BaFe₂O₄) and hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) targets. Crystallographic and structural characterization results show that the films possess low c-axis dispersion of Δ ω=0.259 degrees and hexagonal terraced surface morphology. Saturation magnetization and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy field were determined to be consistent with reference data on high quality barium hexaferrite films and bulk single crystals grown by other techniques. Ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of 42 Oe was measured at 52 GHz by the shorted …

Barium hexaferrites (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) are especially useful for microwave/millimeter devices. Due to large ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) loss (linewidths > 2 kOe), traditional compacts of polycrystalline Ba ferrites indeed hinder the utilization of the materials for practical devices. The present experiment demonstrates that the quasi-single-crystal Ba ferrite disks can be fabricated by a single solid-state reaction technique without liquid phase participation, combining with a processing of alignment for the ferrite seed crystals. The ferrite bulks show a pure hexagonal Ba ferrite phase, an expected 4πMs of 4.48 kG, and coercivity of 10∽20 Oe along the c axis, similar to the results of a …

The interest in barium hexaferrite thick films, particularly with high remanent magnetization, is driven by the development of small planar ferrite microwave devices. We report here processing and microwave characterization of BaFe₁₂O₁₉ ferrite thick films (100-400 μm). The films were deposited on silicon and alumina substrates by screen printing, oriented under a magnetic field of 8 kOe, then annealed at 250°C and sintered at temperatures ranging from 850 to 1300°C. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction exhibited strong crystallographic alignment of c-axis crystals perpendicular to the film plane. The magnetization measurement indicated that a typical dense film with 270 μm …
