Abstract
The soft Ni-Zn ferries thin films were fabricated by a new metal salts-routed sol-gel processing, and magnetic properties of the films were investigated. A film with an homogeneous spinel phase was obtained from stock solution spun on SiO2/Si(100) substrate and a subsequent heat treatment ranging 500-800°C in air or O2. The microstructure of the films consisted of spherical grains of 500-1000 Å in size and 50-100 Å in surface roughness (rms). Microstructure and magnetic properties of the films were functions of annealing temperature and atmosphere. The optimized film was attained by annealing at 600°C in O2, which exhibited.Ms = 300 emu/cc and Hc = 170 Oe.
