Notes:
Binary SmxFe100−x(2〈x〈12) thin films were made by rf sputtering of the target onto preheated quartz glass substrates. Structural characterization, magnetic measurement, and microstructure observation were carried out by x-ray diffractometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. Directly crystallized films were synthesized at substrate temperature higher than 400 °C and the main phase of the films is the ThMn12-type tetragonal phase with lattice parameters a=8.65 Å and c=4.78 Å. Films have the predominant [111] and [001] crystallographic texture when the substrate temperature is lower and higher than 600 °C, respectively. The perpendicular magnetization measured under the applied field of 22 kOe is about 30% higher than the saturation magnetization of bulk SmFe11Ti. Coercivities of about 4.0 kOe can be obtained in the substrate temperature range between 430 and 550 °C with grain size of 0.2–0.3 μm. Cross-sectional TEM microstructure observations show significant columnar structures in the films. The [001] texture formed in the films is also clearly reflected by the planar and cross-sectional TEM diffraction patterns. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
