Abstract

Metal/semiconductor Fex(In2O3)1-x granular films were prepared by the rf-sputtering. The microstructure was studied by using XRD, TEM and magnetic measurements. The results showed that the nanometer-sized Fe particles uniformly dispersed in the amorphous In2O3. Appropriate annealing leads to the crystallization of In2O3 films and the growth of the Fe particle size. As a result, the magnetic behavior of the films transits from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic. The variation of the lattice constant for In2O3 depends on the volume fraction of Fe particles.
