Abstract

Large effective magnetic anisotropy and low coercivity are usually mutually exclusive in nanometer crystalline ferrite due to opposing dependencies on the grain size. Here, by applying a parallel magnetic field during sputtering, NiZnCu ferrite thin films with larger effective magnetic anisotropy, as well as lower coercivity and an ideal permeability spectrum were prepared through adjustment of exchange length Lex. A (400) preferred orientation and a declined lattice constant triggered by the magnetic field were observed, and the cation redistribution was thoroughly discussed by XRD intensity calculation in which iron ions presented a tendency to occupy the octahedral site. By collective effects of grain growth promotion and enlarged anisotropy energy, the inducing magnetic field permitted samples with invariant stoichiometric composition a higher initial permeability and a broader working frequency range. These findings provide a valuable reference for effectively tuning magnetic properties of the magnetic thin films that are promising for high-frequency applications.
