Abstract

Nickel ferrite thin films were synthesized at room temperature using one-step electrodeposition solution processing. Reaction kinetics was also proposed. An effect of air baking on the structural, surface morphological and magnetic properties was investigated. As-deposited nickel ferrite thin films were cubic in crystal structure. Calculated grain size after annealing was increased from 30 to 48 nm in addition to formation of rough surface morphology. Due to decrease in defect levels after air baking the annealed nickel ferrite thin film showed saturation magnetization of 268 emu/cc, higher than non-annealed (230 emu/cc), when used in magnetic studies.
