FeCuNbSiB thin films with sub-Oersted coercivity
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanocrystalline FeCuNbSiB thin films were fabricated through magnetron sputtering followed by heat treatment, resulting in samples characterized by low coercivity and high effective magnetization. Comprehensive microstructural analysis, employing X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques such as selected area electron diffraction, high-resolution imaging, and Fourier transform, was conducted. Magnetic properties were investigated using an alternating gradient field magnetometer and broadband ferromagnetic resonance. The structural analysis revealed a well-defined microstructure of nanograins within an amorphous matrix in all of our films. However, the coercivity of the 80 nm films did not exhibit as low values as observed for the 160 nm films
