Magnetic anisotropy and crystalline orientation in high Hk FeCoB thin films

Abstract: FeCoB thin films with a high magnetic anisotropy field Hk were studied. Crystal structure of the FeCo was investigated by using x-Ray diffraction with particular interest for understanding the scheme to produce a high Hk in the FeCoB films. The as-deposited film with a high Hk of 280Oe showed a well-crystallized bcc (110) texture of FeCo and an asymmetric profile in the rocking curve measured along the easy axis. The pole figure profile revealed that the maximum diffraction intensity was observed at the point … Show more

“…The above consideration showed that the oblique incidence at low gas pressure condition is a factor inducing lattice distortion along the easy axis direction, which causes the anisotropic residual stress originating the magnetic anisotropy energy via inverse magnetostrictive effect in the Ru/FeCoB film. 6 Figure 3 shows the change in H k as a function of Ru Figure 4 shows the XRD diagrams of 100-nm-thick Ru films prepared at 1, 3, 6, and 16 mTorr of Ar gas pressures. The Ru film prepared at a high gas pressure of 16 mTorr indicated low crystallinity and disappearance of the ͑001͒ plane orientation, most of which is closely packed plane.…”

“…The magneto-elasticity of cubic ferromagnetic materials is described using a Gibbs free energy density Ψ = Ψ(𝐼 𝑘 ) defined as a function of well-chosen cubic invariants 𝐼 𝑘 of the stress 𝜎 𝜎 𝜎 and the magnetization 𝑀 𝑀 𝑀 . It is relevant to take these cubic invariants into account for every crystallographic texture/fiber, with the drawback that the corresponding minimal integrity basis is constituted of a quite large number (30) of invariants [51,54].…”

“…This is frequently observed for very thin magnetic materials used in high frequency electronic systems (the small thickness allows for a better homogeneity of the electromagnetic fields through the thickness at very high frequency, typically GHz). The textures encountered may vary but generally follow epitaxy rules (depending on the sublayer orientation): the direction normal to the layer is frequently a direction of strong crystalline symmetry [9,60,30].…”

“…In ferromagnetic metal films, nanocrystallization with doping nonmagnetic elements, such as CoM (M = Zr, Hf, TaN), [104][105][106] FeM (M = B, Hf, Zr), [107][108][109][110] FeCoM (M = B, Hf, Zr), [111][112][113] are effective approaches to obtain IPUMA, which utilizes the dipole interaction between two phases with different magnetizations. [114,115] In addition, the magnetic anisotropy of a granular system with doping nonmagnetic oxide materials, such as SiO 2 , [116] TiO 2 , [117] Al 2 O 3 , [118] is controlled by changing the effective magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the magnetic nanoparticles.…”
