For highly functional magnetic sensors and high-density magnetic data storage, the exchange bias effect is of great technical importance. Exchange bias, typically observed at ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interfaces, has been reported in a variety of magnetic systems. In this investigation, ultra-high molecular weight polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) films with a large PS volume fraction are used as templates for ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs). Through solvent vapor annealing, nanostructured hybrid films with up to 5 wt % of NPs are obtained. The sputtering of iron (Fe), which is ferromagnetic, on the polymer template is monitored in situ with grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). An analysis reveals that the growth of Fe on nanoparticle-containing diblock copolymer films is a complex process and is important in understanding the resulting magnetic properties.
