Abstract

Si-steel (Fe-Si), permalloy (Fe-Ni) and amorphous alloys (Fe-based, Co-based) are well known as typical soft magnetic alloys. They are used for many kinds of electrical and electronic parts, such as magnetic recording heads, transformers and inductors. In order to get superior soft magnetic properties of CoFe-based nanocrystalline thin films, Co-Fe-Al-O films have been investigated. These films exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties: saturation magnetization (4 πMs) of 16 19 kG, magnetic coercivity (H c) of 0.5-1 Oe, anisotropy field (Hk) of less than 1 Oe and electrical resistivity (ρ) as high as 500 μΩcm. The combination of high 4 πMs and relatively high (Hk) in these films is believed to be partly responsible for the excellent ultra-high-frequency behavior. The soft magnetic properties and electrical properties of these films are dependent on the partial pressure of reactive gas, which presumably changes the microstructure of the films and related magnetic anisotropy.
