Abstract
Properties of ferrite thin films are often found to be different from that of the bulk and depend very much on the experimental parameters of the deposition technique. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a relatively simple and cost-effective method that can ensure the growth of high-quality ferrite thin films. The advantages of this technique include stoichiometric material transfer, control over the phase and texture of the obtained samples, and deposition of multilayered nanosystems. The main disadvantages are related to restricted area depositions and the presence of droplets on the grown films which can be overcome by the use of rotating substrates in off-axis depositions, laser beam scanning techniques, and use of masks between the substrate and the target. Thus, this chapter gives an overview of PLD process and its applications to ferrites.
