Abstract

In the present study, the structural and magnetic properties of the Fe70Dy30 thin films are investigated. The Fe70Dy30 thin film with a thickness of 250 Å is fabricated using a dc magnetron sputtering system. Structural and temperature dependent magnetic properties indicate the granular nature of the film. The nonsaturation of the magnetization curves even at high fields of 50 kOe and the obtained very low coercivity in the temperature range 50 – 300 K reveal that films are superparamagnetic (SPM). The decreasing blocking temperature (Tb) with increasing an external magnetic field in temperature dependent magnetization curves are exposed qualitatively.
