Magneto-optical properties of polycrystalline CoCrFeO<Subscript>4</Subscript> films

A methods of obtaining polycrystalline CoCrFeO₄ films based on solid-phase reactions in Cr₂O₃/Co/Fe layer structures in the regimes of isothermal annealing and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is described. The magneto-optical properties of the obtained films have been studied. It is established that the spectra of magneto-optical characteristics depend on the solid-phase reaction regime and synthesis temperature. The Faraday rotation angle exhibits a local maximum (2θ_F = 5 deg/μm) at a wave-length of 630 nm.     

Nanostructured thin films of the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 manganite obtained using the extraction pyrolytic method

The extraction pyrolytic method is used to fabricate thin (100–300 nm) films of the lanthanum manganites La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ on fused silica substrates. The films are deposited on the substrate using the alternate sessions of the centrifuging of solution and pyrolysis. The annealing of thin films at temperatures of greater than 650°C yields the single-phase La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ material. It is demonstrated that the annealing temperature substantially affects the magnetic properties of the resulting films: the films exhibit the properties of spin glasses and ferromagnetic properties at temperatures of less than 700°C and greater than 700°C, respectively.

Structure and magnetic properties of Co-P films of nanometer thickness

The main features of the formation of chemically deposited thin polycrystalline Co-P films of nanometer thickness have been determined experimentally. Changes in the surface structure of films with different thicknesses have been determined using an atomic force microscope. It has been established that at thicknesses smaller than 10 nm the films represent a set of weakly connected nuclei of crystallites with random orientations of easy axes. The subsequent increase in the thickness of films leads to the formation of a uniform polycrystalline layer. Estimates are given, which make it possible to determine the magnetic state of crystallites for the case of their weak magnetic interaction.
