The magnetic and structural properties of pulsed laser deposited epitaxial MnZn–ferrite films

Abstract
The magnetic and structuralproperties of pulsed laserdeposited MnZn–ferrite films have been examined. The results show that the uniaxial anisotropy, ferromagnetic resonance linewidth and coercive force are strongly influenced by the microstructure of the films, and the saturation magnetization and first‐order magnetocrystallineanisotropy constant depend on intrinsic properties such as composition and cation site occupation. A comparison of bulk and film magnetic properties shows that the magnetic properties of the films are comparable to the bulk, which makes pulsed laser deposition ferrite films a prime candidate for thin film high‐frequency microwave device applications.
