CuFe2O4 thin films: elaboration process, microstructural and magneto-optical properties

Microstructural characterization of CoMnFeO4thin films deposited by radio-frequency sputtering

“…In fact, their magnetic and electrical properties allow the use of these materials in information storage [1,2], in gas sensor [3,4] and in catalysts [5,6]. Spinels are often used in the form of thin films that are prepared by physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques such as the radio-frequency sputtering.…”

Synthesis and characterization of CuFe2O4 nanorods synthesized by polyol route

“…spinel ferrites and their dispersions in various substances are among the most important magnetic materials which have been widely used for studies of nanomagnetism and in many other fields such as high-density magnetic storage media [7,8], ferro-fluids technology [9], color imaging, biomedical drug delivery [10] and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [11]. In the literature, there are many diverse methods to prepare nanorods including ball-milling [12,13], sol-gel, co-precipitation [14][15][16] and combustion synthesis [17], which are interesting and attract much research attention. However, these preparation methods are generally complicated and expensive especially when organometallic precursors and complex process controls are involved.…”

Elaboration and characterization of Fe1–xO thin films sputter deposited from magnetite target

“…However the control of this chemical reaction is quite difficult. A convenient method to obtain substituted-ferrite thin films is by radio frequency (RF) sputtering of a mixed ferrite target [4][5][6]. Physical and chemical properties of as-such grown films are highly dependent on the sputtering conditions (argon pressure, RF power, target/substrate distance, magnetron…).…”
