Effect of High Magnetic Field Annealing on Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92) films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Abstract

Terfenol-D Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92 films were deposited on cube textured Ni substrate by sol-gel dip coating process. The samples were annealed in high magnetic field (20 T) parallel and perpendicular to the surface of the film. The filmswere characterized using SEM, XRD and AFM analysis. It was observed that the direction of the applied magnetic field had a clear effect on the microstructure of the film.
