Co40Fe40W20 monolayers of different thicknesses were deposited on Si(100) substrates by DC magnetron sputtering, with Co40Fe40W20 thicknesses from 10 to 50 nm. Co40Fe40W20 thin films were annealed at three conditions (as-deposited, 250 °C, and 350 °C) for 1 h. The structural and magnetic properties were then examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), low-frequency alternative-current magnetic susceptibility (χac), and an alternating-gradient magnetometer (AGM). The XRD results showed that the CoFe (110) peak was located at 2θ = 44.6°, but the metal oxide peaks appeared at 2θ = 38.3, 47.6, 54.5, and 56.3°, corresponding to Fe2O3 (320), WO3 (002), Co2O3 (422), and Co2O3 (511), respectively. The saturation magnetization (Ms) was calculated from the slope of the magnetization (M) versus the CoFeW thickness. The Ms values calculated in this manner were 648, 876, 874, and 801 emu/cm3 at the as-deposited condition and post-annealing conditions at 250, 350, and 400 °C, respectively. The maximum MS was about 874 emu/cm3 at a thickness of 50 nm following annealing at 350 °C. It indicated that the MS and the χac values rose as the CoFeW thin films’ thickness increased. Owing to the thermal disturbance, the MS and χac values of CoFeW thin films after annealing at 350 °C were comparatively higher than at other annealing temperatures. More importantly, the Co40Fe40W20 films exhibited a good thermal stability. Therefore, replacing the magnetic layer with a CoFeW film improves thermal stability and is beneficial for electrode and strain gauge applications.

Granular-type [( Co 90 Cr 10)85 Pt 15]89.8-[ SiO 2]10.2 films were prepared by using co-sputtering methods, with Ru as a seed layer. Influences of Ru thickness on the micro-structure and magnetic properties of the CoPtCr-SiO 2 magnetic layer were investigated. It was found that the seed layer obviously effected the grain isolation, c-axis distribution and magnetic parameters. The Ru seed layer with a suitable thickness is very helpful for achievement of high anisotropy, proper coercivity and high squareness. The anisotropy energy of the magnetic layer can be as high as 5×106 erg/cm 3 or more, even with a thin Ru layer, promising good thermal stability. It was noted that the Ru layer markedly enhanced the isolation of CoPtCr grains, corresponding to the increase of coercivity and the decrease of loop slope. Moreover, it was also revealed that the addition of SiO 2 to CoPtCr effectively isolated the CoPtCr grains without disturbing the epitaxial growth of CoPtCr grains on the Ru seed layer.

A new cobalt(II) coordination polymer (CP), poly[[bis[μ6-4-(4-carboxylatophenoxy)benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κ6 O 1:O 1:O 3:O 3′:O 4:O 4′]bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)tricobalt(II)] 0.72-hydrate], {[Co3(C15H7O7)2(C12H8N2)2]·0.72H2O} n , (I), is constructed from CoII ions and 4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)isophthalate (cpoia3−) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands. Based on centrosymmetric trinuclear [Co3(phen)2(COO)6] secondary building units (SBUs), the structure of (I) is a three-dimensional CP with a (3,6)-connected net and point symbol (42.6)2(44.62.87.102). The positions of four [Co3(phen)2(COO)6] SBUs and four cpoia3− ligands reproduce a Chinese-knot-shaped arrangement along the ab plane. (I) has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermostability analysis. It shows a good thermal stability from room temperature to 673 K. In addition, the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties was measured.

In this research, influence of adding Li2CO3 (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) on electrical and magnetic properties of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (with 60% Ni and 40% Mg) ferrite has been studied. The samples are prepared by solid state reaction method and sintered at 1300∘C for 6[Formula: see text]h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show the samples belong to single-phase cubic structure without any impurity phase. The magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) of the samples have been investigated by VSM and found that the higher concentration of Li2CO3 reduces the hysteresis loss. DC resistivity increases with Li2CO3 contents whereas it decreases initially and then becomes constant at lower value with temperature which indicates that the studied samples are semiconductor. The dielectric dispersion occurs at a low-frequency regime and the loss peaks are formed in a higher frequency regime, which are due to the presence of resonance between applied frequency and hopping frequency of charge carriers. Notably, the loss peaks are shifted to the lower frequency with Li2CO3 additions.

The microstructures and properties of (Tb,Sm)CoSi/Cr series films have been investigated. All the samples were sputtered and annealed at 500 °C for 25 min in pure N2 atmosphere, and their microstructures and properties were examined. The effect on the magnetic properties of partial Sm substituted by Tb is discussed. The lattice matching media were examined. And the mechanisms of interactions among the grains and between the magnetic layers have been analyzed by comparing multi magnetic layer with the mono magnetic layer.

The Co3Pt magnetic layer with thickness of 7~28 nm was deposited onto the Pt underlayer. The as-deposited Co3Pt/Pt double-layered films with or without a 5 nm Pt capped layer were annealed at temperatures between 275 and 375 °C in vacuum of 1 mTorr. The influences of process parameters on perpendicular magnetic properties of Co3Pt thin films were investigated. The Co3Pt film with perpendicular coercivity (Hc⊥) value of 3620 Oe and the perpendicular squareness (S⊥) of 0.7 could be achieved from the Co3Pt(18 nm)/Pt(100 nm) double-layered films by annealing at 300°C. Further added Tb30Co70 film on the Co3Pt/Pt double-layered film could greatly enhance the perpendicular magnetic properties of the film. The Hc⊥ and S⊥ of the Tb30Co70/Co3Pt/Pt film were as high as 6560 Oe and 0.88, respectively, which has significant potential to be applied in perpendicular magnetic recording media.

New functional nanocomposite FePt:C thin films with FePt underlayers were synthesized by noneptaxial growth. The effect of the FePt layer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the composite layer has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thickness from 2 nm to 14 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with x-ray diffraction (XRD), has been used to check the growth of the double-layered films and to study the microstructure, including the grain size, shape, orientation and distribution. XRD scans reveal that the orientation of the films was dependent on FePt underlayer thickness. In this paper, the TEM studies of both single-layered nonepitaxially grown FePt and FePt:C composite L10 phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt are presented.

Bimetallic nanomaterials in the form of thin film constituted by magnetic and noble elements show promising properties in different application fields such as catalysts and magnetic driven applications. In order to tailor the chemical and physical properties of these alloys to meet the applications requirements, it is of great importance scientific interest to study the interplay between properties and morphology, surface properties, microstructure, spatial confinement and magnetic features. In this manuscript, FePd thin films are prepared by electrodeposition which is a versatile and widely used technique. Compositional, morphological, surface and magnetic properties are described as a function of deposition time (i.e., film thickness). Chemical etching in hydrochloric acid was used to enhance the surface roughness and help decoupling crystalline grains with direct consequences on to the magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction, SEM/AFM images, contact angle and magnetic measurements have been carried out with the aim of providing a comprehensive characterisation of the fundamental properties of these bimetallic thin films.

LaNiO3 (LNO) has been used as bottom electrode layer for ferroelectric and antiferroelectric thin films due to its good conduction, preferred (100) orientation, same crystalline structure as many perovskite ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics, good adhesion and compatibility with the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si template. In this study we have investigated the ideal optimal post - annealing conditions for LaNiO3 thin films deposited at 450°C using a magnetron sputtering method. Heat treatment from 500 to 1200°C was performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrical measurements were carried out to characterize the morphology, structure, and macroscopic properties. Results indicated that the LNO film had the best quality when annealed at about 800°C. Above this temperature, the morphology, structure and associated properties would deteriorate.
