Abstract
Fe3O4 thin films have been grown on ITO glass substrates using an electrodeposition technique. The properties of the films can be tuned by changing the electric potential within â1.00Â V to â1.22Â V. Preferred crystalline orientation along ã511ã arises in the samples prepared with the potentials of â1.06Â V to â1.08Â V. An apparent decrease of the in-plane coercivity is found in these films with preferred orientation. A simple model considering the interplay of shape anisotropy and magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which leads to a weaker effective plane anisotropy in the oriented films, is given to explain the decrease of coercivity.
