Magnetic properties of thin iron films on strontium titanate substrates — •Armin Haase, Kay Potzger, Oskar Maciej Liedke, and Rantej Bali — Institut für Ionenstrahlphysik und Materialforschung, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf
In this study, the magnetic moment of thin iron films will be investigated. The methods of preparing the strontium titanate substrate surfaces for layer growth, creating near-surface defects, and growing thin iron films will be described. A procedure for surface preparation using a sequence of etching and annealing steps in an oxygen-rich environment will be introduced. The defects were created using ion implantation, and the samples were tested for defect magnetism. A magnetic moment was determined for hydrogen with the fluency of 2×1017 1/cm2 and the energy of 1,2 keV. Nitrogen implantation did not produce defect magnetism. In a separate process, iron layers of varying thicknesses were grown and investigated for their groth modes and magnetic properties. Finally, the steps described above were combined and repeated.
