Effect of interfacial diffusion on microstructure and properties of FePt/B4C multifunctional multilayer composite films

FePt/B₄C multilayer composite films were prepared by magnetron sputtering and subsequent annealing in vacuum. By changing Fe layer thickness of [Fe/Pt]₆/B₄C films, optimal magnetic property (8.8 kOe and remanence squareness is about 1.0) is got in [Fe(5.25 nm)/Pt(3.75 nm)]₆/B₄C sample whose composition is Fe rich and near stoichiometric ratio. The characterizations of microstructure demonstrate that the diffusion of B and C atoms into FePt layer depends strongly on B₄C interlayer thickness. When B₄C interlayer thickness of [Fe(2.625 nm)/Pt(3.75 nm)/Fe(2.625 nm)/B₄C]₆ films is bigger than 3 nm, stable value of grain size (6-6.5 nm), coercivity (6-7 kOe) and hardness (16-20 GPa) is observed. Finally, the multifunctional single FePt/B₄C composite film may find its way to substitute traditional three-layer structure commonly used in present data storage technology.     

Preparation of Fe/Pt Films with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

We have investigated the microstructures and magnetic properties of L1₀ ordered equi-atomic FePt thin films prepared by ion beam sputtering and subsequent annealing. It is observed from X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction measurements that the mixing at Fe/Pt interfaces starts to occur with annealing and leading to the FePt alloy phase formation. The rapid increase in the coercivity values above 275°C, obtained from vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements, confirms the formation of the ordered L1₀ FCT FePt phase.     

Effect of annealing in an external magnetic field on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the Fe/FePt/Pt multilayer system

The effect of annealing in an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the film on the kinetics of Ll ₀ phase transformation of the microstructure and the magnetic properties of the Fe(2 nm)/FePt(20 nm)/Pt(2 nm) multilayer system has been investigated. The relations between the hysteresis loop shape, magnetic correlation length, and structural disorders, which are characteristic of magnetic information carriers, have been analyzed. It has been found that the annealing of the Fe(2 nm)/FePt(20 nm)/Pt(2 nm) multilayer system at a temperature of 470°C in an external magnetic field of 3500 Oe, which is applied perpendicular to the film plane, leads to the formation of a face-centered tetragonal structure of the Ll ₀ phase in the FePt film, which is characterized by the high coercivity H _c , the (001) preferred texture, the magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film plane, small sizes of FePt grains in the film, and weak exchange coupling between the particles. The energy of the external magnetic field encourages the process of transformation of the FePt film into the Ll ₀ phase. Thus, a method has been developed for fabricating multilayer films based on the FePt Ll ₀ phase with the parameters necessary for information carrier materials with perpendicular-type magnetic recording.

Long-range chemical interactions in solid-state reactions: effect of an inert Ag interlayer on the formation of L10-FePd in epitaxial Pd(0 0 1)/Ag(0 0 1)/Fe(0 0 1) and Fe(0 0 1)/Ag(0 0 1)/Pd(0 0 1) trilayers

The effect of 0, 0.5, and 1?μm-thick Ag interlayers on the chemical interaction between Pd and Fe in epitaxial Pd(0?0?1)/Ag(0?0?1)/Fe(0?0?1)/MgO(0?0?1) and Fe(0?0?1)/Ag(0?0?1)/Pd(0?0?1)/MgO(0?0?1) trilayers has been studied using X-ray diffraction, ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and magnetic structural measurements. No mixing of Pd and Fe occurs via the chemically inert Ag layer at annealing temperatures up to 400?°C. As the annealing temperature is increased above 400?°C, a solid-state synthesis of an ordered L1₀-FePd phase begins in the Pd(0?0?1)/Ag(0?0?1)/Fe(0?0?1) and Fe(0?0?1)/Ag(0?0?1)/Pd(0?0?1) film trilayers regardless of the thickness of the buffer Ag layer. In all samples, annealing above 500?°C leads to the formation of a disordered Fe_xPd_1?x(0?0?1) phase; however, in samples lacking the Ag layer, the synthesis of Fe_xPd_1?x is preceded by the formation of an ordered L1₂-FePd₃ phase. An analysis of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results shows that Pd is the dominant moving species in the reaction between Pd and Fe. According to the preliminary results, the 2.2?μm-thick Ag film does not prevent the synthesis of the L1₀-FePd phase and only slightly increases the phase’s initiation temperature. Data showing the ultra-fast transport of Pd atoms via thick inert Ag layers are interpreted as direct evidence of the long-range character of the chemical interaction between Pd and Fe. Thus, in the reaction state, Pd and Fe interact chemically even though the distance between them is about 10⁴ times greater than an ordinary chemical bond length.     

Crystal structure and compressibility of FePt nanoparticles under high pressures and high temperatures

FePt nanoparticles with an average grain size of 4 nm and equiatomic composition of Fe and Pt was studied under high pressures in a diamond anvil cell to investigate its structural stability and compressibility under high compression. The ambient pressure disordered face-centered-cubic (fcc) phase was found to be stable to the highest pressure of 61 GPa (compression of 15%) at room temperature. The compression of Fe₅₀Pt₅₀ nanoparticles is closer to the compression curve for pure Pt and shows lower compressibility than what would be expected for a bulk Fe₅₀Pt₅₀ alloy. The nanoparticle character of Fe₅₀Pt₅₀ sample is maintained to the highest pressure without any observable grain coarsening effects at ambient temperature. Laser heating of disordered fcc phase at 32 GPa to a temperature of 2000 K resulted in a phase transformation to a microcrystalline phase with the distorted fcc structure.     

Effect of Ag underlayer thickness on the microstructure and magnetic properties of L10-FePt films

FePt/Ag films were deposited on thermally oxidized Si(100) substrates by magnetron sputtering at room temperature and then the as-deposited films were annealed at 500 ^°C. The microstructure and magnetic properties of the films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results indicate that introduction of the Ag underlayer promotes an ordering transformation of the FePt phase due to thermal tensile stress between the Ag underlayer and the FePt film. The in-plane tensile stress induced by the Ag underlayer should stretch the horizontal lattice parameter of FePt; thus, it is helpful for the ordering transformation. With increasing Ag underlayer thickness, the ordering parameter and coercivity first increase and then decrease. When the Ag underlayer thickness is 12 nm, the ordering parameter and coercivity of the film reach the maximum values, respectively. The Ag underlayer thickness also affects the magnetization reversal mechanism.     

Magnetic properties and microstructure study of high coercivity Au/FePt/Au trilayer thin films

High-coercivity Au(60 nm)/FePt(δ nm)/Au(60 nm) trilayer samples were prepared by sputtering at room temperature, followed by post annealing at different temperatures. For the sample with δ=60 nm, L1₀ ordering transformation occurs at 500 °C. Coercivity (H_c) is increased with the annealing temperature in the studied range 400–800 °C. The H_c value of the trilayer films is also varied with thickness of FePt intermediate layer (δ), from 27 kOe for δ=60 nm to a maximum value of 33.5 kOe for δ=20 nm. X-ray diffraction data indicate that the diffusion of Au atoms into the FePt L1₀ lattice is negligible even after a high-temperature (800 °C) annealing process. Furthermore, ordering parameter is almost unchanged as δ is reduced from 60 to 15 nm. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) photos indicate that small FePt Ll₀ particles are dispersed amid the large-grained Au. We believe that the high coercivity of the trilayer sample is attributed to the small and uniform grain sizes of the highly ordered FePt particles which have perfect phase separation with Au matrix.     

Mechanochemical synthesis and giant dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12

CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ powder has been synthesized by mechanochemical milling (C-m) and solid-state reaction (C-ssr) techniques. C-m powder has a grain size of ~24 nm as determined from X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM measurements. The grain size of C-m ceramics has increased to 20 μm compared to a size of 3 μm for C-ssr ceramics after sintering at 1,050 °C for 10 h. Giant dielectric constant was observed in both ceramics with that of C-m larger than that of C-ssr. Impedance results show that the grain conductivity of C-m is more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of C-ssr, whereas its grain boundary conductivity is larger than that of C-ssr. These results are supported by the EDX results that show Cu-enriched grain boundaries in C-m ceramics.     

Low-temperature ordering and enhanced coercivity of L10-FePt thin films with Al underlayer

FePt multilayer films with and without Al underlayer were prepared by magnetron sputtering on SiO₂ substrate and subsequently annealed in vacuum. Experimental results suggest that the existence of Al underlayer can effectively reduce the ordering temperature and increase the coercivity of FePt films. Due to the slight larger lattice constant of Al underlayer than that of FePt films, [Fe (0.66 nm)/Pt (0.84 nm)]₃₀ films begin to order at 350 °C and the coercivity of them reach to 5.7 kOe after annealing at 400 °C for half an hour.     

激光辐照对热退火金属/掺氟二氧化锡透明导电薄膜光电性能的影响

Structural and magnetic properties of RF sputtered FePt/Fe multilayers

Series of [FePt(4min)/Fe(t_Fe)]₁₀ multilayers have been prepared by RF magnetron sputtering and post-annealing in order to optimize their magnetic properties by structural designs. The structure, surface morphology, composition and magnetic properties of the deposited films have been characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Rutherford backscattering (RBS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It is found that after annealing at temperatures above 500 °C, FePt phase undergoes a phase transition from disordered FCC to ordered FCT structure, and becomes a hard magnetic phase. X-ray diffraction studies on the series of [FePt/Fe]_n multilayer with varying Fe layer thickness annealed at 500 and 600 °C show that lattice constants change with Fe layer thickness and annealing temperature. Both lattice constants a and c are smaller than those of standard ones, and lattice constant a decreases as Fe layer deposition time increases. Only a slight increase in grain size was observed as Fe layer decreased in samples annealed at 500 °C. However, the increase in grain size is large in samples annealed at 600 °C. The coercivities of [FePt/Fe]_n multilayers decrease with Fe layer deposition time, and the energy product (BH)_max reaches a maximum in the samples with Fe layer deposition time of 3 min. Comparison of magnetic properties with structure showed an almost linear relationship between the lattice constant a and the coercivities of the FePt phase.     

Study of complex impedance spectroscopic properties of the α-NaCuPO<Subscript>4</Subscript> compound

In the present study, α-NaCuPO₄ compound was prepared by solid-state reaction method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The AC electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation properties of this compound have been investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy measurements over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures 209 Hz–1 MHz and 598–708 K, respectively. Both impedance and modulus analysis exhibit the grain and grain boundary contribution in the electrical response of the sample. It was found that the data of the AC measurements follow the overlapping large polaron tunneling model and the model’s parameters were determined.     

Synthesis and structural,magnetic and electrochemical characterization of PtCo nanoparticles prepared by water-in-oil microemulsion

PtCo nanoparticles with homogeneous size (around 3–4 nm) have been synthesized in a water-in-oil microemulsion of water/polyethylenglycol–dodecylether (BRIJ^®30)/n-heptane. X-ray diffraction study revealed the formation of a cubic phase with a gradual decrease of the cell parameter with increasing cobalt incorporation in the crystalline lattice of platinum. In relation to their magnetic properties, the PtCo nanoparticles present a superparamagnetic behaviour even after annealing, although higher permeability was induced by the thermal treatment. Finally, the electrocatalytic activity of the particles towards oxalic acid oxidation in H₂SO₄ was evaluated. The Pt74Co26 nanoparticles showed the highest reactivity for this reaction.     

Very high coercivities of top-layer diffusion Au/FePt thin films

The Au/FePt samples were prepared by depositing a gold cap layer at room temperature onto a fully ordered FePt layer, followed by an annealing at 800 °C for the purpose of interlayer diffusion. After the deposition of the gold layer and the high-temperature annealing, the gold atoms do not dissolve into the FePt Ll₀ lattice. Compared with the continuous FePt film, the TEM photos of the bilayer Au(60 nm)/FePt(60 nm) show a granular structure with FePt particles embedded in Au matrix. The coercivity of Au(60 nm)/FePt(60 nm) sample is 23.5 kOe, which is 85% larger than that of the FePt film without Au top layer. The enhancement in coercivity can be attributed to the formation of isolated structure of FePt ordered phase.
