The substrate temperature, ambient pressure in the deposition chamber and acceleration potential for the electron beam were all found to affect the grain size of the film, resulting in different morphologies of the samples. Transport properties of the obtained granular films, especially the magnetoresistance （MR）, were studied. Prominent low-field MR was observed in all samples, indicating the forming of grain boundaries in the sample. The low-field MR show great sensitive to the morphology evolution, which reaches the highest value of about 40% for the sample with the grain size of about 250 nm. More interestingly, positive-MR （p-MR） was also detected above 300 K when low magnetic field applying, whereas it disappeared with higher magnetic field applied up to 1.5 and 2 Tesla. Instead of the spin- polarized tunneling process being commonly regarded as a responsible reason, lattice mismatch between LCMO film and silicon substrate appears to be the origin of the p-MR展开更多

We find a large magnetic coercivity of 7120 Oe around the electrical percolation threshold of the Co/CoO core/shell particles, while samples with a smaller or larger Co metal volume fraction show a considerably smaller coercivity. Thus, this study may lead to a route to improving the magnetic properties of artificial magnetic material in view of potential applications.展开更多

Good soft-magnetic properties were obtained in a broad x range, with 0.55 〈 x 〈 0.82. High resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） observations reveal that the grain size of the samples is lower than 14 nm, and that it decreases with decreasing x. Of special interest, our investigation of the permeability spectra indicates that these films exhibit an adjustable frequency linewidth of resonance peak, dependant upon changing x. Correspondingly, large and adjustable damping coefficients （aeff） from 0.023 to 0.043 were achieved by decreasing x from 0.82 to 0.55. Combined with the HRTEM results, the variation of αeff with x was analyzed in detail.展开更多

The atomic ratio x can be controlled by the oxygen flow rate during Cux（Cu2O）1-x deposition. Room-temperature ferromagnetism（FM） is found in all of the samples. The saturated magnetization increases at first and then decreases with the decrease of x. The photoluminescence spectra show that the magnetization is closely correlated with the Cu vacancies in the Cux（Cu2O）1-x granular films. Fundamentally, the FM could be understood by the Stoner model based on the charge transfer mechanism. These results may provide solid evidence and physical insights on the origin of FM in the Cu2O-based oxides diluted magnetic semiconductors, especially for systems without intentional magnetic atom doping.展开更多

The third-order optical nonlinearity of single-layer and graded composite films was investigated by using s- and p-polarized Z-scans in femtosecond time scale. The nonlinear absorption coefficient βeff of single-layer Au-TiO2 films is measured to be -2.3×10^3-0.76×10^3 cm/GW with Au atom content 15%-66%. The βeff value of the 10-layer Au-TiO2 graded film is enhanced to be -2.1×10^4cm/GW calculated from p-polarized Z-scans, which is about ten times the maximum βeff of single-layer films. Broadened response in the wavelength region 730-860 nm of the enhanced optical nonlinearity of graded Au-TiO2 composite films was also investigated.展开更多

Micromagnetic structure of the nano-magnetic film was simulated by the finite element method. The typical micromagnetic was obtained. Corresponding experiments were also done aiming at the Co40Fe40B20-SiO2 nano-granular films. The results show that the characteristics of nano-magnetic film correspond with the micromagnetic ripple theory. The microwave permeability of nano-magnetic films deduces and well fits the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert(LLG) equation. The films present large microwave permeability and high resonant frequency(μ′ and μ″ at 2 GHz are about 100 and 40 respectively and the resonant frequency is about 2.8 GHz). The additional peak of μ″ originated from perpendicular anisotropy and micromagnetic ripple structure can be suppressed by the annealing process. Thus,the microwave complex permeability spectra of these nano-magnetic films can be tailored for different applications.展开更多

Magnetic properties and the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect of Fex(In2O3)1-x granular film samples are studied. The result shows that the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio value of the granular film samples with Fe volume fraction x = 35% is 4.5% at room temperature. The temperature dependence (r = 1.5-300 K) of the MR ratio value of Fe0.35(In2O3)0.65 granular films shows that value below 10 K increases rapidly with the decrease of the temperature, and when T = 2 K, value is 85%. Through the study of the dependence of low field susceptibility on temperature and the hysteresis loops at different temperatures, it has been found that, when the temperature decreases to a critical point TP = 10 K, the change of the structure in Fe0.35(In2O3)0.65 granular films results in the transformation of state from ferromagnetic to spin-glass-like.

The result shows that the Faraday rotation angle θF value of the granular film samples with Fe volume fraction x = 35% is of the order of 105(°)/cm at room temperature. Temperature dependence of the Faraday rotation angle θF of Fe0.35(In2O3)0.65 granular films shows that θF value below 10 K increases rapidly with the decrease of the temperature, and when T = 4.2 K, θF value is 106(°)/cm. Through the study of the dependence of low field susceptibility on temperature and the hysteresis loops at different temperatures, it has been found that when the temperature decreases to a critical point TP = 10 K, the transformation of state from ferro- magnetic to spin-glass-like occurs in Fe0.35(In2O3)0.65 granular films. The remarkable increase of the Faraday rotation angle θF value of Fe0.35(In2O3)0.65 granular films below 10 K seems to arise from the sp-d exchange interaction of the granular film samples in the spin-glass-like state.展开更多

The mi-crostructure, magnetic properties as well as the tunneling magnetoresistance effect (TMR) were systematically studied. It was found that the maximum TMR ratio is about -3.3% at fv = 0.33. Under the same condition, a series of (Fe100-x Cox)0.33(SiO2)0.67 were prepared. TMR value reaches -4.5% at x=53, while the microstructure of the film still keeps as that of Fe0.33(SiO2)0.67. The higher TMR ratio is contributed to the elevating of the spin polarization of particles. This is consistent with Inoue’s theory.展开更多
