Abstract
Studies of the effect of evaporation angle on orientation tendencies have shown the effect to be insignificant for certain evaporation conditions. Thickness gradients and particle size variations are the major effects of variation of incidence angle in these experiments. Slight degrees of preferred orientation in the form of [111] fiber axes have been found for Fe, Ni, and permalloy films deposited on heated substrates. Annealing experiments have shown the presence of superlattice ordering in permalloy films held for short periods of time at 200°C.
