Abstract EN
Iron cobalt nickel nitride (FeCoNiN) thin films are prepared by sol-gel spin coating route.
The structural, magnetic and surface properties of the thin films are evaluated.
The crystalline nature of thin films was enhanced upon annealing, leading to increased crystallite size.
The X-ray diffraction shows mixed phases with crystallite size in the range of 20–26.93 nm.
Thin films show ferromagnetism at room temperature.
Coercivity and saturation magnetization are in the range of 642–716 Oe and 2.5–7.5 emu/cm3 respectively.
Both coercivity and saturation magnetization increased with annealing of thin films.
Magnetic properties are related to the crystallinity of thin films.
The increase in crystallite size results into an increase of magnetic properties.
Rectangular shaped particles are seen on the surface of thin films.
The same type of grains can be seen on the surface of thin films which confirmed the formation of FeCoNiN as predicted by XRD.
These novel thin films might be used in memory devices and optoelectronic applications.
