“…The hardness ratio over Young's modulus (H/E ratio) in the films can be used to measure the ability of a material to resist plastic deformation in a contact event. Resistance to contact damage not only depends on the H but also the E value; contact damage can be avoided by a material with high H and low E [30]. It should be noted that the penetration depth of the indenter must be less than 30% of the thickness of the film; otherwise, the hardness of thin films would be affected by the hardness of the substrate [31].…”

CoFe-based alloys and rare earth (RE) elements are among the most studied materials in applying magnetic devices to improve soft magnetic characteristics. A series of Co40Fe40Sm20 films are deposited on a glass substrate via the sputtering technique, followed by an annealing process to investigate their effect on microstructural and optical properties of Co40Fe40Sm20 films. In this study, the increase in the thickness of Co40Fe40Sm20 films and annealing temperatures resulted in a smoother surface morphology. The 40 nm Co40Fe40Sm20 films annealed 300 °C are expected to have good wear resistance and adhesive properties due to their high values of H/E ratio and surface energy. Optical transparency also increased due to the smoother surface of the Co40Fe40Sm20 films.

“…To obtain additional functional properties and to improve the corrosion resistance, magnetic properties and thermal stability, several studies have been carried out on the substitution of Fe atoms by different elements in Fe-N structure [3][4][5][6][7][8]. ␥ -Fe 4 N is one of the typical iron nitrides [9][10][11], which could be applied in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) [12][13][14][15] for its high spin-polarized transport [16,17].…”
