Abstract
Conditions favoring the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) growth of barium hexaferrite films have been investigated using the Bi 2O 3-BaO-B 2O 3 flux system. The barium hexaferrite-saturated solutions based on this flux system exhibit relatively large degrees of supercooling (up to 65°C). However, the BaFe 12O 19 phase field occupies a limited region of the BaO/Fe 2O 3/Bi 2O 3 pseudo ternary phase diagram. LPE films of pure barium hexaferrite and aluminum-substituted hexaferrite were successfully grown on Sr(Ga, Mg, Zr) 12O 19 substrates using this flux system. Microstructural evaluation of the films by X-ray topography and optical microscopy indicates that smooth, uncracked barium hexaferrite films can be grown on strontium hexagallate substrates from selected compositions in the BaO/Fe 2O 3/Bi 2O 3 ternary system under conditions which minimize lattice mismatch between film and substrate.
