TEM investigations of epitaxially grown Sm-Co/Cr films on MgO single crystal substrates — •K. Subba Rao1, R. Tamm1, C.-G. Oertel1, W. Skrotzki1, A. Singh2, V. Neu2, S. Faehler2, and B.

Hard magnetic Sm-Co/Cr films were epitaxially grown on MgO(100) and (110) substrates. They were characterized by X-ray pole figure measurements and transmission electron microscopy. For films deposited on MgO(100) at 700 C, orientations are found with the c-axis aligned in-plane and out-of-plane. By lowering the deposition temperature to 370 C, the out-of-plane orientations disappeared. Further lowering to 350 C leads to the formation of amorphous regions in the Sm-Co film.
For films grown on MgO(110) the Cr buffer deposition temperature plays an important role. When deposited at 700 C Cr(211) and (100) orientations are observed leading to two different types of Sm-Co in-plane orientations. By lowering the Cr-buffer deposition temperature to 300 C only one buffer and one Sm-Co orientation exists: Cr(211) and Sm-Co(10-10). The exact orientation relationships between substrate, buffer and films will be explained and its correlation with magnetic properties will be discussed.
