Abstract: | The microstructure, in-plane anisotropy, and magnetic properties of Fe-Ga thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, and capacitive cantilever method. The in-plane induced anisotropy is well formed by the applied magnetic field during sputtering, and the anisotropy field H k decreases with the sputtering power increasing. The coercivity of Fe-Ga thin films decreases with increasing power when the sputtering power is less than 60 W and increases when the power is larger than 60 W. The magnetostriction of the thin films reaches 66 × 10−6 at the sputtering power of 60 W. Excellent Fe-Ga films, which exhibit good field sensitivity, low coercivity and high magnetostriction, have been fabricated at the power of 60 W, and they can be used as the materials of magnetostrictive transducers. |
