BEAMLINE X23B PUBLICATION X. Zuo, A. Yang, S. Yoon, J. Christodoulides, V.G. Harris, C. Vittoria, "Large Induced Magnetic Anisotropy in Manganese Spinel Ferrite Films," Appl. Phys. Lett., 87,152505 (2005). FUNDING National Science Foundation Offi ce of Naval Research FOR MORE INFORMATION Vincent Harris Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University harris@ece.neu.edu Manganese ferrite (MnFe 2 O 4 ) is a well-studied spinel ferrite that has low magnetic anisotropy (H a ) at room temperature (K 1 = -33×10 3 erg/cm 3 or H u = 2|K 1 |/M S = 175 Oe) arising from the low magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy common to cubic structures. This low H u value limits the applications of this ferrite, or more generally, most cubic spinel ferrites, to frequencies at or below the S-band (1-5 GHz). To overcome this limitation, large magnetic fields are needed to achieve a high ferromagnetic resonance frequency and increase the bandwidth of these materials. These large magnetic fields do not allow for the miniaturization of such potential devices, however.

Vittoria 1 1 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University; 2 Naval Research Laboratory; 3 Sachs Freeman Associates Here, we report the oxygen-pressure dependence of magnetic anisotropy in pulse laser deposited MnFe 2 O 4 films. Magnetic anisotropy fields are shown to reach 5 kOe when the films are processed at oxygen pressures below 5 mTorr. The bulk values are around 200 Oe. Further, the preferred direction of magnetization can be aligned either along the film plane (p Ox 8 mTorr). The ability to induce large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in spinel ferrites allows for new applications above S-band frequencies (i.e. phase shifters, filters, isolators, and circulators) to be considered. 2-44 The enhancement of the magnetic anisotropy in manganese ferrite is related to the oxygen processing pressure used in the pulsed laser deposition process (Figure 1). We measure a large growth-induced anisotropy for both low (H u ~5000 Oe) and high oxygen-processing pressures (~1500 Oe). The natures of these magnetic anisotropies are quite different. For example, at low oxygenprocessing pressures the magnetization aligns in the film plane, as one might expect from the influence of the demagnetizing energy. However, at high pressures the anisotropy aligns perpendicular to the film plane. One possible source of this magnetic anisotropy derives from the distribution of magnetic cations within the unit cell. In order to measure the cation distribution, select samples were subjected to EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure) measurements. Data collection was performed using beamline X23B at the National Synchrotron Light Source in fluorescence yield at room temperature. At the time data were collected, the storage-ring energy was 2.54 GeV and the ring current ranged from 180-250mA. Here, we applied a multi-edge refinement using Athena and Artemis codes of Ravel and Newville, respectively, to analyze the cation distribution of these samples, which were produced under different oxygen pressures. Figure 2 is a plot of representative best-fit data for both Mn and Fe EXAFS. With an increase in oxygen pressure used in processing, the octahedral site occupancy of the manganese ions increases, as measured using EXAFS, from 32% to greater than 50%. This is compared with the bulk equilibrium distribution of
20%. Correspondingly, the Fe octahedral occupation decreases from 84% to 75%. The difference in site distribution may be influenced by the difference in cation valence caused by the oxygen pressure, lattice strain from the mismatch in lattice constants and thermal expansion coefficients, or from the large effective quench rate. As the oxygen pressure used in processing is increased from 1 to 50 mTorr there are significant changes in the physical state of the films. We envision that at low oxygen pressures (p
