Effect of boron/phosphorus-containing additives on electrodeposited CoNiFe soft magnetic thin films

CoNiFe,CoNiFeB and CoNiFeP soft magnetic thin films were prepared by cyclic voltammetry method.The morphologies,composition and structures were characterized by scanning electron microscope（SEM）,energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope（EDS） and X-ray diffractometer（XRD）.The soft magnetic properties were investigated through vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM）.The corrosion resistance was investigated through Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic（EIS）.The results show that all the electrodeposited CoNiFe,CoNiFeB and CoNiFeP films are mixtures of crystalline and amorphous phases,and high amount of boron/phosphorus-containing additives favors the formation of amorphous state.Nanostructure is obtained in CoNiFe and CoNiFeB films.The inclusion of boron causes the film more dense and also increases its corrosion resistance.Meanwhile,the inclusion of boron lowers its coercivity（Hc） from 851.48 A/m to 604.79 A/m,but the saturation magnetic flux density（Bs） is almost unchanged.However,the addition of phosphorus greatly increases the film particle size and decreases its corrosion stability.The coercivity（Hc） of CoNiFeP film is also highly increased to 12485.79 A/m,and its saturation magnetic flux density（Bs） is greatly decreased to 1.25 T.

Plasma Treatment Enhanced Magnetic Properties in Manganese Doped Titanium Nitride Thin Films

The ferromagnetic manganese doped TiN films were grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on MgO（001） substrates. The nitrogen concentration and the ratio of manganese at Ti lattice sites increase after the plasma annealing post treatment. TIN（002） peak shifts toward low angle direction and TiN（111） peak disappears after the post treatment. The lattice expansion and peak shift are mainly ascribed to the reduction of nitrogen vacancies in films. The magnetism was suppressed in as-prepared sample due to the pinning effect of the nitrogen vacancies at defect sites or interface. The magnetism can be activated by the plasma implantation along with nitrogen vacancies reduce. The decrease of nitrogen vacancies leads to the enhancement of ferromagnetism.

Thin film processing and multiferroic properties of Fe-BaTiO_3 hybrid composite

Multiferroic bi-layer Fe/BaTiO3 （BTO） thin films were successfully deposited on Pt（200）/MgO（100） substrates using ion beam sputter deposition （1BSD）, and the mutiferroic properties were studied at room temperature. X-ray diffraction （XRD） analyses showed that BTO films were c-axis oriented and epitaxially grown on platinum coated MgO substrates, and （110） epitaxial Fe films were subsequently grown on （001） BTO films. Fe/BTO bi-layer films showed good ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties at room temperature and the multiferroic coupling was observed, which should be attributed to the hybridization of Fe and Ti occurring at the ferromagnetic-ferroelectric interface.

Left-handed materials in magnetized metallic magnetic thin films

The authors＇ theoretical investigation on the high-frequency response of magnetized metallic magnetic films showed that magnetic films may become left-handed materials （LHMs） near the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of incident waves with right-handed circular polarization （RCP） and linear polarization （LP）. The frequency range where LHM exists depends on the waves polarization, the magnetic damping coefficient, and the ferromagnetic characteristic frequency corn of the film. There also exists a critical damping coefficient ac, above which the left-handed properties disappear completely.

Microwave magnetic properties of soft magnetic thin films

We review our works that focus on the microwave magnetic properties of metallic, ferrite and granular thin films. Soft magnetic material with large permeability and low energy loss in the GHz range is a challenge for the inforcom technologies. GHz magnetic properties of the soft magnetic thin films with in-plane anisotropy were investigated. It is found that several hundreds of permeability at the GHz frequency was achieved for Col00_xZrx and Co90Nbl0 metallic thin films because of their high satu- ration magnetization, and an adjustable resonance frequency from 1.3 to 4.9 GHz was obtained. Compared with the metallic thin films, the weaker saturation magnetization of Ni-Zn ferrite thin films results in several tens of permeability at the GHz frequency, but the larger resistivity of the ferrite prepared in situ without any heating treatments has lower energy loss. In order to obtain materials with large permeability and low energy loss in the GHz range, the [CoFe-NiZn ferrite] composite granular thin films were investigated, where the advantage of higher saturation magnetization for the metallic alloy and the high resis- tivity as well as high saturation magnetization for the ferrite results in a good GHz magnetic performance.

Recent advances in exchange bias of layered magnetic FM/AFM systems

The exchange bias （EB） has been investigated in magnetic materials with the ferromagnetic （FM）/antiferromagnetic （AFM） contacting interfaces for more than half a century. To date, the significant progress has been made in the layered magnetic FM/AFM thin film systems. EB mechanisms have shown substantive research advances. Here some of the new advances are introduced and discussed with the emphasis on the influence of AFlVl layer, the interlayer EB coupling across nonmagnetic spacer, and the interlayer coupling across AFlVl layer, as well as EB related to multiferrioc materials and electrical control.
