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 …
Bafe₁₂O₁₉ Thin Films Grown At The Atomic Scale From Bafe₂O₄ And Α-Fe₂O₃ Targets, A. L. Geiler, S. D. Yoon, Y. Chen, C. N. Chinnasamy, Z. Chen, M. Geiler, V. G. Harris, C. Vittoria

Hexagonal barium ferrite (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) thin films were grown at the atomic scale by alternating target laser ablation deposition (ATLAD) of orthorhombic BaFe₂O₄ and rhombohedral α-Fe₂O₃ on < 001 > Al₂O₃ substrates. Crystallographic, magnetic, and microwave properties of the ATLAD films were determined to be comparable with single crystal quality bulk and films of BaFe₁₂O₁₉ produced by other techniques. The ability to deposit high quality hexagonal ferrite thin films by utilizing multiple targets of different chemical compositions in the deposition routine provides unique opportunities to control the ionic distribution in the unit cell of this important class of ferrite materials.
