结构相变对Fe掺杂TiO2薄膜室温铁磁性的影响

采用直流磁控溅射方法在玻璃基底上制备了不同Fe掺杂浓度的TiO₂薄膜, 并对其晶体结构和磁特性进行了研究.在所有掺杂样品中,均观察到了室温铁磁性, 磁性源于Fe离子与其近邻空间分布的空穴相互作用. 在掺杂量为7%的锐钛矿相薄膜中观察到了最大的磁化强度. 随着Fe掺杂浓度的进一步增加, TiO₂的晶体结构逐渐由锐钛矿相向金红石相转变,并且磁性减弱. 不同结构的TiO₂中Ti–O键长不同,导致替代的磁性Fe离子与空穴的作用强度发生改变, 进而使其磁性发生变化. 关键词： 稀磁半导体 结构相变 铁磁性

Atomistic simulation of Fe deposition and alloy formation on Pt substrates

Fe-Pt alloys are of significant importance toward future applications of high-density magnetic recording media. In this work, we apply the BFS method for alloys to study the energetic pathway for subsurface Fe-Pt alloy formation upon deposition of Fe atoms on Pt(1 0 0), Pt(1 1 1), and vicinal Pt(9 9 7) substrates. The simulation results indicate preference for Fe atoms to occupy sites in the Pt subsurface layers and form an ordered alloy phase upon deposition on a low-index Pt surface. This behavior results in Pt surface segregation leading to nucleation of 3D Pt islands. However, the energetics behind deposition of Fe on Pt(9 9 7) indicate that Fe atoms prefer decoration of Pt step edges prior to formation of the ordered Fe-Pt surface alloy, where the ordered alloy is observed to form at the edges of the monoatomic surface steps. In each case presented here, the results are in agreement with experiment, and the formation of a Fe-Pt subsurface alloy is explained by a simple analysis emerging from the competition between BFS strain and chemical energy contributions.     

Cu掺杂对FexPt1－x薄膜有序化的影响

Competing magnetoresistance contributions in sputtered FePt thin films

Fe-Pt thin films were deposited by rf sputtering on an MgO substrate heated at different temperatures to induce the formation of the perpendicular Fe-Pt L1₀ phase with a different grain morphology on the nanometer scale. All films are characterized by a mazelike pattern of FePt nanograins with interconnected bases. MFM images and magnetization curves indicate that all samples have a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy arising from (0 0 1) growth. The temperature behaviour of the electrical resistance indicates that a percolating path exists for conduction electrons in the mazelike pattern. The magnetoresistance was measured as a function of magnetic field (applied longitudinally) and temperature in the ranges −70 kOe<H<+70 kOe and 4 K<T<150 K, respectively. All samples display a complex behaviour of the electrical resistance as a function of applied field. The role of the different magnetoresistance effects (both intrinsic and extrinsic) measured in these FePt thin films is elucidated.     

Preparation of Fe/Pt Films with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

We have investigated the microstructures and magnetic properties of L1₀ ordered equi-atomic FePt thin films prepared by ion beam sputtering and subsequent annealing. It is observed from X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction measurements that the mixing at Fe/Pt interfaces starts to occur with annealing and leading to the FePt alloy phase formation. The rapid increase in the coercivity values above 275°C, obtained from vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements, confirms the formation of the ordered L1₀ FCT FePt phase.     

Effect of LaNiO3 buffer layers on the structure and electrical properties of sol–gel-derived Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3PbTiO3 thin films

Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃PbTiO₃ (PMNT) thin films on Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates with and without a LaNiO₃ (LNO) buffer layer have been prepared using a sol–gel method. Structures and electrical properties of these two films have been investigated and compared. Highly (111)-oriented PMNT thin films with a certain amount of pyrochlore phase are obtained on bare Pt electrodes. On the contrary, (100)-oriented PMNT thin films with pure perovskite phase are formed on Pt electrodes with a LNO buffer layer. Cracks are found in the former but not in the latter. The dielectric constant of PMNT thin films on LNO-buffer Pt electrodes is larger than that on bare Pt electrodes. A great lowering of the leakage current is observed in the films with a LNO buffer layer. The improvement in the electrical properties is attributed to both the elimination of cracks and the suppression of pyrochlore phase in the films. PACS 77.84.Dy; 77.80.-e; 77.22.Gm     

Investigation of hard magnetic properties in the Fe-Pt system by combinatorial deposition of thin film multilayer libraries

The magnetic properties of annealed Fe-Pt multilayer thin films with a broad composition range were investigated in order to identify the effects of composition and annealing temperature on the achievable coercive field, and to identify its maximum at low processing temperatures. Two types of multilayer systems were deposited as materials libraries to vary the composition from Fe₂₀Pt₈₀ to Fe₇₅Pt₂₅. The first type of multilayer was comprised of alternating opposing wedges, whereas the second type consisted of repeated uniform Fe and Pt layers interspersed periodically with Fe wedge layers. It was found that coercive fields μ₀H_C > 0.7 T can be achieved at an annealing temperature of about 300 °C (60 min) for both types of multilayers as long as the composition is close to 50:50. Higher annealing temperatures are needed for films, which deviate from this composition. Increasing the annealing temperature up to 700 °C leads to increased coercivity values. Multilayers with additional Fe layers showed increased remanence but reduced coercive fields.     

FePt nano-stripes fabricated on anodic aluminum oxide templates

A new Fe Pt nanostructure with stripe-like patterns has been prepared by direct current(DC) magnetron sputtering on anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) templates. AAO templates anodized under low voltages(7 V) demonstrate self-organized,maze-like patterns, different from the conventional porous structures obtained at high voltages. Fe Pt thin films deposited on such templates tend to replicate the morphology of the templates. Although there is no obvious spatial ordering, the dimensions of the Fe Pt nano-stripes are highly uniform, due to the constrained growth along the transverse direction of the AAO pattern. The magnetic properties are strongly influenced by this unique morphology. While continuous films demonstrate strong exchange coupling, the dominant interaction in Fe Pt nano-stripes with the same nominal thickness is magnetostatic. The morphology also dictates the magnetization reversal behaviors, with thin films dominated by domain nucleation; while nano-stripes incline to reverse their magnetization by spin rotation. Our work demonstrates that selforganized AAO templates can be used to control the morphology and magnetic behavior of Fe Pt materials.     

Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured strontium hexaferrite thin films by the sol–gel method

Nanostructured single phase strontium hexaferrite, SrFe₁₂O₁₉, thin films have been synthesized on the (100) silicon substrate using a spin coating sol–gel process. The thin films with various Fe/Sr molar ratios of 8–12 were calcined at different temperatures from 500 to 900 °C. The composition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the SrFe₁₂O₁₉ thin films were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results showed that the optimum molar ratio for Fe/Sr was 10 at which the lowest calcination temperature to obtain the single phase strontium hexaferrite thin film was 800 °C. The magnetic measurements revealed that the sample with Fe/Sr molar ratio of 10, exhibited higher saturation magnetization (267.5 emu/cm³) and coercivity (4290 Oe) in comparison with those synthesized under other Fe/Sr molar ratios.     

Mössbauer study of permanent magnets Fe-Pt

The Mössbauer effect measurements of⁵⁷Fe have been performed for Fe-Pt alloys with 36–50 at. % Pt. The spectra are composed of three kinds of sextets for the alloys with 36–40 at.% Pt which have excellent permanent magnet properties in the imperfectly ordered state of a CuAuI-type structure. The magnetic hyperfine field of⁵⁷Fe is about 25% larger at Pt-sites than at the normal Fe-sites. One of the sextets may be caused by local atomic disorder. The local atomic disorder would be responsible for high coercivity of these alloys.     

Grain boundary diffusion induced reaction layer formation in Fe/Pt thin films

The solid-state reaction in Pt(15 nm)/Fe(15 nm) and Pt(15 nm)/Ag(10 nm)/Fe(15 nm) thin films after post-annealing at 593 K and 613 K for different annealing times has been studied. The structural properties of these samples were investigated by various methods including depth profiling with secondary neutral mass spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. It is shown that after annealing at the above temperatures where the bulk diffusion processes are still frozen, homogeneous reaction layers of FePt and FePt with about 10 at.% Ag, respectively, have been formed. Corresponding depth profiles of the element concentrations revealed strong evidence that the formation mechanism is based on a grain boundary diffusion induced solid-state reaction in which the reaction interfaces sweep perpendicularly to the original grain boundary. Interestingly, X-ray diffraction indicated that in both thin-film systems after the solid-state reaction the ordered L1₀ FePt phase, which is the requested phase for future magnetic data storage applications, is also present.
