Epitaxial Growth of fcc Fe and Cu Films on Diamond

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The growth of iron and copper films and multilayers on the (100) face of diamond has been achieved and studied by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), and SQUID magnetometry. RHEED and AES studies show that 2–3 atomic layers (AL) of Fe on C(100) forms a continuous film. The films as deposited at room temperature are disordered, and after a 350° C anneal displays a face-centered cubic structure. Subsequent layers of Cu on this epitaxial Fe film grow as an oriented, single crystal fee film. FMR and SQUID signals have been observed from the Fe films, showing that they are ferromagnetic.
