F. Robaut et al., STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF Y2CO17(0001) THIN-FILMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 148(1-2), 1995, pp. 26-27
Epitaxial Y2Co17(0001) films have been grown for the first time by pul
sed laser deposition. All films (d = 30-300 Angstrom) were found to ha
ve easy plane magnetization, and no evolution of the anisotropy energy
with thickness was observed. The coercive field was found to be highe
r for the films deposited at higher substrate temperatures.
