Crystallization behavior of amorphous terfenol-D thin films

The annealing behavior of amorphous terfenol-D thin films is examined in this work. Amorphous thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputter deposition from alloy targets. Differential scanning calorimetry of these films was performed in the temperature range 100-800/spl deg/C. Based on DSC data a...

Zusammenfassung:The annealing behavior of amorphous terfenol-D thin films is examined in this work. Amorphous thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputter deposition from alloy targets. Differential scanning calorimetry of these films was performed in the temperature range 100-800/spl deg/C. Based on DSC data annealing experiments were performed at 400, 550, 575, 600 and 650/spl deg/C. X-ray diffraction shows RFe/sub 2/ phase is formed when samples are annealed at 575-600/spl deg/C. Other phases observed are Fe and rare earth oxide.
