Abstract
Iron films were produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of iron in Ar gas and Mössbauer spectra of these films were obtained at room temperature. The orientation of the hyperfine magnetic field was found to vary depending on the pressure of the Ar gas. Iron films produced at low Ar pressures exhibited magnetic fields parallel to the substrate surface. The magnetic field became increasingly perpendicular to the substrate with increasing Ar pressure. Collisions with Ar gas molecules reduced the translational energies of laser-evaporated iron atoms and thus the orientation of crystals formed on the substrate varied depending on the Ar pressure.
