Laser ablated Ni-doped HfO2 thin films: Room temperature ferromagnets

2005 
Laser ablated Ni-doped HfO2 thin films fabricated under a wide range of growth conditions all showed ferromagnetism above room temperature. However, the films deposited at 800°C under an oxygen partial pressure of 10−6Torr have the largest magnetic moment of 2.7μB∕Ni. Ni-doped HfO2 films also well demonstrate a large anisotropy. Magnetic force microscopy measurements confirmed that Ni-doped HfO2 films are real room temperature ferromagnets with a domain structure, and that the size of magnetic domains is larger than 10μm.
