Abstract

Iron nitride thin films have potential applications in the biomedicine andenergy. The magnetic properties of these films can be tuned by incorporatingcopper nitride. In this study, iron copper nitride thin films have beenfabricated by magnetron sputtering technique either by co-sputtering ironnitride and copper nitride or by layer stacking of the materials. The structure,morphology and magnetic properties of the films have been studied by scanningelectron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectivity and vibrating samplemagnetometry.
