T. Takahashi et al., Structural and magnetic properties of FexSey thin films during their selenization process, J APPL PHYS, 83(11), 1998, pp. 6533-6535
FexSey films were prepared on GaAs(001) substrates by a selenization of Fe
films using molecular beam epitaxy equipment. Structural and magnetic prope
rties of FexSey thin films during their selenization process were studied.
The selenized films obtained consisted of polycrystalline grains of 100-700
nm. A magnetic anisotropy of in-plane/perpendicular to the films was weake
ned by increasing the selenization ratio of the samples, which was interest
ing in contrast to the fact that the grain size of the films became larger.
