We investigate the structure and optical, electrical and magnetic properties in Mn-doped Bi5Ti3FeO15 (BTFO) thin films. While Mn-doping does not almost change the structure and unit cell volume of BTFO,...

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the effect of substrate on the domain structure growth and electrical and magnetic properties of epitaxial Mn-doped Zn0.8Mn0.15O (ZnMnO) thin films has been investigated. Epitaxial thin films of ZnMnO dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) were grown on various substrates such as single crystal sapphire, single crystal silicon, and quartz substrates using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique . Structural, surface, magnetic, and optical properties have been observed on these films using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffraction shows that films are highly epitaxial and c-axis oriented with some induced strain. AFM images show that film surface is smooth with RMS roughness of the order of 1-2 nm over 5*5sq.micron. Magnetic characteristic properties such as carrier concentration, mobility, and temperature dependent resistivity were also investigated. Carrier concentration decreases and mobility increases for both the films on silicon and quartz substrates when compared to film on sapphire.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties of sputtered Ni-Al2O3 granular thin films were investigated by low load microharaness testing. It was found that the microhardness of these films displayed a percolation threshold at a nickel volume fraction of about 0.6, below which the hardness is greatly enhanced. This behavior is qualitatively similar to the electrical and magnetic properties of these types of films. A percolation threshold in hardness can be understood as due to a change in the mechanism for plastic deformation.
