Cobalt ferrite and CoLa0.01Fe1.99O4 thin film were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition method with varying pulse laser energy. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to investigate the structure of ferrite thin films. The study was expanded to include morphology and magnetic properties. The prepared films showed a strong peak at (311), which belongs to the cubic spinel cobalt ferrite phase with the presence of some peaks belonging to α-Fe2O3 as hematite phase that depressed when doping with La ion, and the crystallization improvement significantly after intensity increases by increasing the pulsed laser energy from 500 to 650 mJ. The lattice constant of Cobalt ferrite thin films increased with an increase in the laser pulse energy while the crystallite size deduced from the Williamson Hall method showed decreases with the increases of pulse laser energy. The saturation, remnant magnetization, and coercivity of prepared films were studied according to increasing pule laser energy and Lanthanum doping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
