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 …


Synthesis Of Ordered Arrays Of Multiferroic Nife₂O₄-Pb(Zr₀.₅₂Ti₀.₄₈)O₃ Core-Shell Nanowires, Ming Liu, Xin Li, Hassan Imrane, Yajie Chen, Trevor L. Goodrich, Zhuhua Cai, Katherine S. Ziemer, Jian Y. Huang, Nian X. Sun Jan 2011

A synthesis method was developed for producing core-shell nanowire arrays, which involved a combination of a modified sol-gel process, electrochemical deposition, and subsequent oxidization in anodized nanoporous alumina membranes. This method was applied to generate ordered arrays of one dimensional multiferroic NiFe₂O₄ core and Pb(Zr₀.₅₂Ti₀.₄₈)O₃ (PZT) shell nanostructures. Extensive microstructural, magnetic, and ferroelectric characterizations confirmed that the regular arrays of core-shell multiferroic nanostructures were composed of a spinel NiFe₂O₄ core and perovskite PZT shell. This synthesis method can be readily extended to prepare different core-shell nanowire arrays and is expected to pave the way for one dimensional core-shell nanowire arrays.

A series of (Fe100−yGay)1−xBx (x=0–21 and y=9–17) films were deposited; their microstructure, soft magnetism, magnetostrictive behavior, and microwave properties were investigated. The addition of B changes the FeGaB films from polycrystalline to amorphous phase and leads to excellent magnetic softness with coercivity Oe, high 4πMs, self-biased ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency of 1.85 GHz, narrow FMR linewidth (X band) of 16–20 Oe, and a high saturation magnetostriction constant of 70 ppm. The combination of these properties makes the FeGaB films potential candidates for tunable magnetoelectric microwave devices and other rf/microwave magnetic device applications.

Ni₀.₂₃Fe₂.₇₇O₄ (NFO)/Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) multiferroic composites were synthesized by spin-spray deposition of NFO film onto PZT at 90°C. Strong interface adhesion between NFO and PZT was observed, which was verified by high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicating excellent wetting between the NFO and PZT, and by the strong magnetoelectric coupling in the NFO/PZT multiferroic composite showing an electric field induced remnant magnetization change of 10%. This strong interface adhesion and low-temperature spin-spray synthesis of multiferroic materials provide an alternative route for novel integrated multiferroic materials and devices.

Next generation magnetic microwave devices require ferrite films to be thick (>300 μm), self-biased (high remanent magnetization), and low loss in the microwave and millimeter wave bands. Here we examine recent advances in the processing of thick Ba-hexaferrite (M-type) films using pulsed laser deposition (PLD), liquid-phase epitaxy, and screen printing. These techniques are compared and contrasted as to their suitability for microwave materials processing and industrial production. Recent advances include the PLD growth of BaM on wide-band-gap semiconductor substrates and the development of thick, self-biased, low-loss BaM films by screen printing.

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 …

Strong magnetoelectric (ME) coupling was demonstrated in Fe₃O₄/PZN–PT (lead zinc niobate–lead titanate) multiferroic heterostructures obtained through a sputter deposition process. The dependence of the magnetic anisotropy on the electric field (E-field) is theoretically predicted and experimentally observed by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. A large tunable in-plane magnetic anisotropy of up to 600 Oe, and tunable out-of-plane anisotropy of up to 400 Oe were observed in the Fe₃O₄/PZN–PT multiferroic heterostructures, corresponding to a large ME coefficient of 100 Oe cm/kV in plane and 68 Oe cm/kV out of plane, which match well with predicted results. In addition, the electric field manipulation of …

M-type barium hexaferrite films were processed by pulsed laser deposition on single-crystal 6-H silicon carbide substrates. MgO buffer and barrier layers were introduced to improve the film quality. Samples were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). X-ray θ − 2θ diffraction measurements indicated a strong (0, 0, 2n) crystallographic alignment. The magnetization of the BaM film is comparable to bulk values (4πMs ∼ 4320 G). A derivative power FMR linewidth of 500 Oe was measured at 55 GHz for the as-deposited films. This paper explores a …
