Magnetic Properties of Thin Metal-Polymer Films Prepared by High-Dose Ion-Beam Implantation of Iron and Cobalt Ions into Polyethylene Terephthalate

Magnetic insertion system for flexible electrode implantation

“…The methods employed to produce these composites are diverse and include screen-printing, molding, wet-etching and squeegee-coating techniques (Delille et al, 2006;Lagorce and Allen, 1997;Wang et al, 2004). Alternative techniques include electroplating and bonding of ferromagnetic materials to polymer films (Takeuchi et al, 2004), ion beam implantation of ferromagnetic ions into polymers (Petukhov et al, 2007), and sputtering of magnetic particles onto polymer substrates (Nguyen et al, 2001;Oka et al, 1995). Future work to miniaturize the current prototype system will involve a critical analysis of microfabrication techniques, their advantages, and potential limitations.…”

Structure and plasmonic properties of thin PMMA layers with ion-synthesized Ag nanoparticles

“…High-fluence implantation of transition metals like Fe, Co, Ni, and so forth allows producing metal/polymer composites with superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic properties, which can be used for development of magnetic data storage media and magneto-sensors. [25][26][27][28] One more direction of practical importance is related to nanoplasmonics. In the case of coinage metals, NPs formation under implantation leads to LSPR.…”

“…Thus, by controlling the implantation parameters one can tune the conductance to required values but not only conductance. High‐fluence implantation of transition metals like Fe, Co, Ni, and so forth allows producing metal/polymer composites with superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic properties, which can be used for development of magnetic data storage media and magneto‐sensors . One more direction of practical importance is related to nanoplasmonics.…”
