NiZnCu ferrite thick film with nano scale crystallites formed by the aerosol deposition method
This paper describes the magnetic properties of NiZnCu ferrite film deposited at room temperature by an aerosol deposition method (ADM). The thickness of the film was 6 mum and the deposition rate was estimated as 2 mum/min. The microstructure of as-deposited at room temperature films consists of randomly oriented nanocrystallites with a size of 20 nm. As-deposited and annealed films exhibited the following magnetic properties: intensity of magnetization M-s = 0.147 T (117 emu/cm(3)), coercivity H-c = 40.58 kA/m (510 Oe); and M-s = 0.3 T (250 emu/cm(3)), H-c = 14.95 kA/m (188 Oe), respectively.
