Abstract

In this work, hexagonal barium ferrite thin films have been deposited on Pt/MgO(111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The anneal temperature dependence of crystal structures, extents of diffusion and magnetic properties have been studied. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the crystal structure changes from the hexagonal to the spinel when the anneal temperature increases. The texture with c-axis perpendicular to the film plane and the small c-axis dispersion angles (△ɵc) have been obtained in the film annealed at 950 °C for 10h. Both the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy profiles and energy dispersive spectrometer show that the diffusions of Mg2+and Fe3+cations are more obvious when the annealing temperature is higher than 950°C. The film annealed at 950°C show anisotropic and hard magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of film annealed at 1050°C are soft.
