Abstract:
We report on large external magnetic field effects during pulsed injection metal-organic chemical
vapor deposition of magnetite films on MgO 001 . The application of a 1 T field during the growth
process significantly increases the saturation magnetization of magnetite by 150%?220% at a
deposition temperature of 550 and 600 ?C, while the enhancement of the remanent magnetization
is even larger. This anomalous magnetic field effect does not drastically alter the crystalline texture,
surface morphology, and film thickness of magnetite, but is explained by a suppression of
antiphase-boundary formation during film growth
