Abstract [en]
Magnetism in wide band gap materials is of great interests for future spintronic device applications. We prepared MgO and Fe-doped MgO films 'in-situ' on substrates by inkjet printing, and investigated the ferromagnetism tuned by the doping of Fe, the annealing temperature and the film thickness. It is found that the Fe-doping improves the crystallinity of the films with lattice structure changed by annealing temperature. The saturation magnetization (M-s) of the films enhanced by similar to 5 times comparing with the pure MgO thin film of similar thickness (similar to 90 nm), because of both the long-range ordering of localized 3d electrons in Fe and the defects induced magnetism. The M-s at 5 K decreases with the film thickness, which is mainly attributed to the interface induced ferromagnetism. The Fe-doped MgO films with ferromagnetism in this work can be used in future spintronic devices.
