It has been shown that 5-10 ML thick Fe films on Cu(100) have an fcc structure and are nonmagnetic at room temperature [1]. Ion beam irradiation of the fcc films causes a structural transformation from fcc to bcc as well as a magnetic transformation from nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic. To remove the 10-ML thickness limit of fcc Fe we alloyed it with 22% of Nickel to form the metastable fcc Fe [2]. To make use of the metastable films for magnonic crystals, we replaced the Cu(100) with two new alternative substrates H-Si(100) and C(100), which are also more suitable for applications and optical analysis. The first substitute is hydrogen terminated Si(100) with a Cu buffer layer. The as-grown Fe78Ni22 is corrugated, but metastable. The second successfully adapted substrate is undoped diamond C(001), on which metastable Fe78Ni22 films can be grown in 4-ML steps followed by post annealing.
