Optically Transparent Ferromagnetic Nanogranular Films with Tunable Transmittance

چکیده
Developing optically transparent magnets at room temperature is an important challenge. They would bring many innovations to various industries, not only for electronic and magnetic devices but also for optical applications. Here we introduce FeCo-(Al-fluoride) nanogranular films exhibiting ferromagnetic properties with high optical transparency in the visible light region. These films have a nanocomposite structure, in which nanometer-sized FeCo ferromagnetic granules are dispersed in an Al-fluoride crystallized matrix. The optical transmittance of these films is controlled by changing the magnetization. This is a new type of magneto-optical effect and is explained by spin-dependent charge oscillation between ferromagnetic granules due to quantum-mechanical tunneling.

Stretchable Ag electrodes with mechanically tunable optical transmittance on wavy-patterned PDMS substrates
We report on semi-transparent stretchable Ag films coated on a wavy-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate for use as stretchable electrodes for stretchable and transparent electronics. To improve the mechanical stretchability of the Ag films, we optimized the wavy-pattern of the PDMS substrate as a function of UV-ozone treatment time and pre-strain of the PDMS substrate. In addition, ...

Nanogranular metallic iron (Fe) and titanium dioxide (TiO2−δ) were sequentially deposited on (100) lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3) substrates in a low oxygen chamber pressure using a pulsed laser ablation deposition (PLD) technique. By sequential deposition, ≈10 nm diameter metallic Fe spherical grains were suspended within a TiO2−δ matrix. The films show ferromagnetic behavior with a saturation m...
