Abstract Films of spinel-type ferrite, MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co, Mg, Li0.5Fe0.5) have been prepared by a dip-coating method from the sol-gel process. Ferric nitrate, nickel nitrate, cobalt nitrate and lithium nitrate were used as raw materials, and glycerol and formamide were used as solvents. A film was prepared by dipping a silica glass plate. The spinel-type ferrite was obtained by heat-treatment at 700–900°C for 2 h in air. The film thickness was about 0.8 μm. The saturation magnetization, σr, of the film and powder with composition 50NiO·50Fe2O3 was 196 emu cm−3 and 29.1 emu g−1, respectively, and the coercive force,H c, was 140 and 95 Oe, respectively, after heat-treatment at 800°C for 2 h. In particular, the films were shown to have a much largerH c than the powder. The grain growth of spinel ferrite may be subject to restriction because it is in progress above an amorphous base-plate. The crystals are therefore aligned with the base-plate and have uniaxial anisotropy.
