“…Grain size and the lattice dilation due to interstitial nitrogen atoms are important facts in controlling the properties of nanocrystalline Fe-N films [5,6]. High magnetization and soft magnetic properties have made FeN-based films very attractive for inductive heads [1,7,8]. Additionally, well-defined uniaxial anisotropy is also important for a head material [3,9].…”

We have fabricated Fe(N) thin films with varied N 2 partial pressure and studied the microstructure, morphology, magnetic properties and resistivity by using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating-sample magnetometer and angle-resolved M-H hysteresis Loop tracer and standard four-point probe method. In the presence of low N 2 partial pressure, Fe(N) films showed a basic bcc α-Fe structure with a preferred (110) texture. A variation of in-plane magnetic anisotropy of the Fe(N) films was observed with the changing of N component. The evolution of in-plane anisotropy in the films was attributed to the directional order mechanism. Nitrogen atoms play an important role in refining the α-Fe grains and inducing uniaxial anisotropy.

“…The phase evolution of the iron nitride films induced by thermal treatment was also studied. It was found that the α '' -Fe 16 N 2 phase is stable below 673 K and a slightly heated substrate will benefit the formation of α '' -Fe 16 N 2 [7,8] . Since the nitrogen is one of the key points to manipulate the phase compositions in the iron nitride films, the effect of nitrogen content are extensively studied 9,10 .…”
