Abstract
This paper reports a study of FeSn thin films produced by co-sputtering. Rutherford backscattering, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy indicate the formation of a homogeneous solid solution of tin in iron, with a tin concentration well above the limit of the equilibrium solid solubility. No evidence of tin or FeSn compound precipitates is found. Magnetic measurements with a vibrating sample magnetometer show that the films present a saturation magnetization and remanence similar to those of pure iron films, but with a much smaller coercivity.
