Abstract
⺠In this study we examined the microstructure and magnetic properties of thin Fe films. ⺠The film thickness was fixed to 50 nm and the effect of sputter parameters (such as sputter pressure pAr and Fe power PFe) on the film properties was investigated. ⺠It was found that the film grown at 4 μbar was the softest film among all the films studied in this work. ⺠Over the range of PFe investigated in this work, the magnetic properties were observed to be unaffected by PFe. ⺠It was also found that the Fe films grown on Siã1 0 0ã substrates had positive magnetostriction constant (4 ± 1 ppm).
