Results show that the Fe3o4 under-layer can accelerate the grain growth of cobalt ferrite films due to the phase transformation of the Fe3o4 under-layer at about 400℃-500℃. By intro- ducing the Fe3O4 under-layer, cobalt ferrite nanocrystalline thin films with high coercivity can be obtained at lower post-annealing temperatures.展开更多
