Abstract

Zinc ferrite films were deposited on fused quartz substrate at different temperatures using pulsed laser ablation (PLA) and rf sputtering. X-ray diffraction indicated that all the films were single phase ZnFe2O4 with grain growing in the range of 8–80nm with substrate temperature. The nanocrystalline films were found to be magnetic and the spontaneous magnetization showed a strong dependence on the grain size, dropping sharply for films with larger grains. A PLA thin film deposited in vacuum at 500°C exhibited a room temperature magnetization value of 5560G.
