Copper ferrite thin films were rf sputtered at a power of 50W. The as deposited films were annealed in air at 800{deg}C and slow cooled. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies were carried out on as deposited as well as on slow cooled film. Significantly larger defect concentration, including stacking faults, was observed in 50W as deposited films than the films deposited at a higher rf power of 200W. The film annealed at 800{deg}C and then slow cooled showed an unusual grain growth upto 180nm for a film thickness of ~240nm. These grains showed Kikuchi pattern.

This paper presents multiple-modes Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) studies on characterize resistance switching (RS), polarization rotation (PO) and surface potential changes in copper doped ZnO (ZnO:Cu) thin films. The bipolar RS behavior is confirm
ed by conductive Atomic Force Microscopy (c-AFM). The PO with almost 180{deg} phase angle is confirmed by using the vertical and lateral Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). In addition, it elucidates that obvious polarization rotation behavior can be observed in the sample with increasing Cu concentration. Furthermore, correlation of the RS behavior with PO behavior has been studied by performing various mode SPM measurements on the same location. The electric field resulted from the opposite polarization orientation are corresponded to the different resistance states. It is found that the region with the polarization in downward direction has low resistance state (LRS), whereas the region with upward polarization has high resistance state (HRS). In addition, the Piezoresponse Force Spectroscopy (PFS) and Switching Spectroscopy PFM (SS-PFM) measurements further confirm that the existence of the built-in field due to the uncomplemented polarization may affect the depletion region and hence contribute to the RS behavior. In addition, Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) results show that, when ZnO-based thin films is subjected to negative and then followed by positive sample bias, injection charge limit current is dominated.
We report on the magnetic properties of zinc ferrite thin film deposited on SrTiO$_3$ single crystal using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction result indicates the highly oriented single phase growth of the film along with the presence of the
strain. In comparison to the bulk antiferromagnetic order, the as-deposited film has been found to exhibit ferrimagnetic ordering with a coercive field of 1140~Oe at 5~K. A broad maximum, at $approx$105~K, observed in zero-field cooled magnetization curve indicates the wide grain size distribution for the as-deposited film. Reduction in magnetization and blocking temperature has been observed after annealing in both argon as well as oxygen atmospheres, where the variation was found to be dependent on the annealing temperature.
Tetragonal Mn$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$ (x=0.70, 0.75) thin films grown on SrTiO$_3$ substrates at different temperatures and thicknesses exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with coercive fields between 1-2 T. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-r
ay diffraction (XRD) reveal that 40nm samples grown at 300-350$^{o}$C lead to polycrystalline films with the tetragonal c-axis oriented primarily perpendicular to the film plane but with some fraction of the sample exhibiting the c-axis in the film plane. This structure results in a secondary magnetic component in the out of plane magnetization. Growth at 300$^{o}$C with a reduced thickness or Mn concentration significantly decreases the presence of the tetragonal c-axis in the film plane, thus improving the magnetic properties. TEM is of critical importance in characterizing these materials, since conventional XRD cannot always identify the presence of additional crystallographic orientations although they can still affect the magnetic properties. Our study points to ways that the microstructure of these thin films can be controlled, which is critical for utilization of this material in spintronic devices.
We studied the structural and magnetic properties of FeC~thin films deposited by co-sputtering of Fe and C targets in a direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) process at a substrate temperature (Ts) of 300, 523 and 773,K. The structure and morpho
logy was measured using x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) at Fe $L$ and C $K$-edges and atomic/magnetic force microscopy (AFM, MFM), respectively. An ultrathin (3,nm) $^{57}$FeC~layer, placed between relatively thick FeC~layers was used to estimate Fe self-diffusion taking place during growth at different Ts~using depth profiling measurements. Such $^{57}$FeC~layer was also used for $^{57}$Fe conversion electron M{o}ssbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and nuclear resonance scattering (NRS) measurements, yielding the magnetic structure of this ultrathin layer. We found from XRD measurements that the structure formed at low Ts~(300,K) is analogous to Fe-based amorphous alloy and at high Ts~(773,K), pre-dominantly a tifc~phase has been formed. Interestingly, at an intermediate Ts~(523,K), a clear presence of tefc~(along with tifc~and Fe) can be seen from the NRS spectra. The microstructure obtained from AFM images was found to be in agreement with XRD results. MFM images also agrees well with NRS results as the presence of multi-magnetic components can be clearly seen in the sample grown at Ts~= 523,K. The information about the hybridization between Fe and C, obtained from Fe $L$ and C $K$-edges XANES also supports the results obtained from other measurements. In essence, from this work, experimental realization of tefc~has been demonstrated. It can be anticipated that by further fine-tuning the deposition conditions, even single phase tefc~phase can be realized which hitherto remains an experimental challenge.
Oriented Strontium Ferrite films with the c axis orientation were deposited with varying oxygen partial pressure on Al2O3(0001) substrate using PLD technique. The angle dependent magnetic hysteresis, remanent coercivity and temperature dependent coer
civity had been employed to understand the magnetization reversal of these films. It was found that the Strontium Ferrite thin film grown at lower (higher) oxygen partial pressure shows Stoner-Wohlfarth type (Kondorsky like) reversal. The relative importance of pinning and nucleation processes during magnetization reversal is used to explain the type of the magnetization reversal with different oxygen partial pressure during growth.
