Abstract

High quality films of barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) were deposited by pulsed laser ablation onto MgO (111) substrates. In contrast to previous films deposited onto c-plane sapphire (Al203), these films were expected to have compressive biaxial stress, and indeed showed no indications for either cracking or delamination to a film thickness of 32 νm. All films were found to be highly c-axis textured by both x-ray diffraction measurements and magnetization results. The saturation magnetization (4πMs = 4.2 kG) and uniaxial anisotropy field (HA = 16 kOe) values for these films approach bulk values. Ferrimagnetic resonance measurements on a calcined 3 μm thick film show a narrow linewidth (ΔH ∼ 100 Oe) for the uniform resonance mode. The properties of these films approach those required for self-biased millimeter wavelength devices.
