Influence Of Reactive Atmosphere On Properties Of Cobalt Ferrite Thin Films Prepared Using Pulsed-Laser Deposition, A. Raghunathan, David C. Jiles, J. E. Snyder

A series of cobaltferrite (CFO) thin films were grown on SiO2/Si(100) substrates using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) at substrate temperature (T DEP) of 250 °C and oxygen pressures (P O2) from 0.67 to 6.7 Pa. The influence of PO2 on crystal structure, phase mixture, deposition rate, and magnetic properties was investigated. It is shown in this study that there is a window of PO2 for optimized growth of nanograined CFO films at low T DEP and that either higher or lower values of PO2 produce undesirable multiphase mixtures. CFO filmsgrown at such low substrate temperature and optimized oxygen pressure on thermal …

The variations in magnetization and magnetic anisotropy of Ge4+/Co2+ cosubstituted cobaltferrite with temperature were investigated for a series of compositions Co1+xGexFe2−2xO4 (0≤x≤0.4). The magnetization at 5 T and low temperature were observed to increase for all Ge/Co cosubstituted samples compared to pure CoFe2O4. Hysteresis loops were measured for each sample over the magnetic field range of −5 T to +5 T for temperatures in the range of 10–400 K. The high field regions of these loops were modeled using Law of Approach to saturation, which represents the rotational and forced magnetization processes. The first order cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy coefficient K1 …
