Abstract
Barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition at 900 °C in 250 mTorr oxygen on Si substrates with Pt (111) underlayers. The barium ferrite films contained platelet grains and a small amount of acicular grains, with sizes of 300 nm and 80×300 nm, respectively, and had a surface roughness of 11 nm. Vibrating-sample magnetometer measurements indicated that the BaFe12O19 films have some perpendicular orientation, with a perpendicular squareness of 0.64 and an in-plane squareness of 0.28. The saturation magnetization is about 190 emu/cc. The perpendicular and in-plane coercivities are 2.1 kOe and 1.6 kOe, respectively.
