Anomalous perpendicular magnetoanisotropy in Mn4N films on Si(lQQ)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ferrimagnetic Mn,N films were deposited on Si (100) substrate by dc reactive magnetron sputtering from sintered Mn target. Highly (002) textured Mn,N ordered phase is formed in situ at studied substrate temperatures of 150-250 “C without further annealing. Anomalous perpendicular magnetoanisotropy exists in these face-centered cubic films with larger coercivity measured perpendicular to the film (2000-3000 Oe) than that parallel (1100-1300 Oe), as is the remanence. Coercivity in either direction decreases, while the saturation flux density (from 240 to 610 G) increases with increasing substrate temperature. The anomalous perpendicular magnetoanisotropy is attributed to (1) the stress-induced anisotropy due to in-plane tensile stress coupled with a reverse magnetostriction, and (2) the shape anisotropy due to columnar grain structure.

In Situ Ordering of FePt Thin Films by Using Ag / Si and Ag / Mn 3 Si / Ag / Si Templates
In situ ordering of FePt thin films by sputtering onto Ag/Si and Ag/Mn3Si/Ag/Si templates has been demonstrated. Due to the evolution from island-like to a continuous film structure as a function of Ag thickness, the ordering and orientation of the FePt films both change with Ag thickness. A continuous (002) Ag film results in a greater L10 phase formation with -axis oriented both perpendicular...

The damage and strain induced by irradiation of both relaxed and pseudomorphic Ge,Si,-, films on Si(100) with 100 keV 28Si ions at room temperature have been studied by MeV 4He channeling spectrometry and x-ray double-crystal diffractometry. The ion energy was chosen to confine the major damage to the films. The results are compared with experiments for room temprature Si irradiation of Si( 100...

We have studied the magnetic properties of Au (2 nm)/Co50Pt50 (3 nm)/Au (2 nm) multilayer films prepared on amorphous Al2O3/Si and (0 0 1) MgO substrates. The as-deposited films on both substrates are magnetically soft with an FCC structure and exhibit a perpendicular anisotropy. After annealing at 500 °C, the sample on the Al2O3/Si substrate has become magnetically isotropic but the sample on ...
