We grow epitaxial Sm-Co thin films by sputter deposition from an alloy target with a nominal SmCo5 composition on Cr(100)-buffered MgO(100) single-crystal substrates. By varying the Ar gas pressure, we can change the composition of the film from a SmCo5-like to a Sm2Co7-like phase. The composition, crystal structure, morphology and magnetic properties of these films have been determined using Rutherford Backscattering, X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. We find that the various properties are sensitive to the sputter background pressure in different ways. In particular, the lattice parameter changes in a continuous way, the coercive fields vary continuously with a maximum value of 3.3 T, but the saturation magnetization peaks when the lattice parameter is close to that of Sm2Co7. Moreover, we find that the Sm content of the films is higher than expected from the expected stoichiometry.
We investigated structural, magnetic and electrical properties of sputter deposited Mn-Fe-Ga compounds. The crystallinity of the Mn-Fe-Ga thin films was confirmed using x-ray diffraction. X-ray reflection and atomic force microscopy measurements were
Compressively strained epitaxial (001) EuTiO3 thin films of tetragonal symmetry have been deposited on (001) (LaAlO3)_0.29-(SrAl_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}O3)_0.71 (LSAT) substrates by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. Enhancement of the Neel temperature by 1 K wi
Recently, nanolaminated ternary carbides have attracted immense interest due to the concomitant presence of both ceramic and metallic properties. Here, we grow nanolaminate Ti3AlC2 thin films by pulsed laser deposition on c-axis-oriented sapphire sub
In this paper we report the deposition of epitaxial thin films of Nd1-xSrxCoO3 with x=0, 0.2 and 0.5 on single crystalline substrates (SrTiO3 and LaAlO3) carried out by means of rf-magnetron sputtering. The deposited films are all completely oriented
High-Sc Al1-xScxN thin films are of tremendous interest because of their attractive piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, but overall film quality and reproducibility are widely reported to suffer as x increases. In this study, we correlate the
