Resumo(s): | Cobalt ferrite (CoFe(2)O(4)) thin films have been deposited on Si (001) substrates, with different substrate ternperatures (Td,p = 25 degrees C - 600 degrees C). The films were prepared by pulsed laser ablation with a KrF excimer laser (wavelength lambda = 248 nm). The oxygen pressure during deposition was 2 x 10(-2) mbar. The films structure was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The magnetic properties were measured with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). For low deposition temperatures, the films presented a mixture ofa CoFe(2)O(4) phase, with the cubic spinel structure, and cobalt and iron antiferromagnet oxides with CoO and FeO stoichiometries. As the deposition temperature increased, the CoO and FeO relative content strongly decreased, so that for Tdep = 600 degrees C the films were composed mainly by polycrystalline CoFe(2)O(4). The magnetic hysteresis cycles measured in the films were horizontally shifted due to an exchange coupling field (H(exch)) originated by the presence of the antiferromagnetic phases. The exchange field decreased with increasing deposition temperature, and was accompanied by a corresponding increase of the coercivity and remanence ratio of the cycles. This behavior was due to the strong reduction of the CoO and FeO content, and to the corresponding dominance of the CoFe(2)O(4) phase on the magnetic properties of the thin films. |
