Abstract

The invention discloses a method for adjusting the coercivity of rare earth-transition alloy film containing Gd ions. The method for adjusting the coercivity of the rare earth-transition alloy film containing the Gd ions aims to solve the problem of existing rare earth-transition alloy film containing Gd ions. The method comprises the following specific steps that firstly, a Gd patch and an inlaidtarget are combined into a composite target, the composite target is placed on a target position of a vacuum sputtering chamber, a substrate is fixed to a substrate table of the vacuum sputtering chamber, and working gas is fed into the vacuum sputtering chamber; secondly, a buffering base layer is sputtered on the substrate; thirdly, perpendicular rare earth-transition alloy film containing Gd ions is sputtered and grown on the buffering base layer; fourthly, a protective top layer is sputtered on the rare earth-transition alloy film containing Gd ions. The preparation method is simple, goodin repeatability and low in cost. The coercivity of the alloy film can be changed by 200% or over within a certain thickness range, procession and inversion of magnetic moment of the alloy film are promoted, and a simple structure is provided for achievement of a reliable spin-moment device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of magnetic spin electronics and recording technology materials, in particular to a method for adjusting the coercive force of a rare earth-transition alloy thin film containing Gd ions. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of magnetic spintronics, ferrimagnetic rare earth-transition alloy thin film materials have new applications in high-density, low-energy vertical magnetic random access memory devices and current-driven domain wall motion. Compared with ferrimagnetic (Tb, Dy)-transition (Fe, Co) alloy films containing Tb (terbium) or Dy (dysprosium) ions, the corresponding rare earth-transition alloy films containing S-state Gd (gadolinium) ions are vertical Anisotropy can usually be more than an order of magnitude smaller. At the same time, the amorphous ferrimagnetic Gd-containing rare earth-transition (Fe, Co) alloy thin film material has negligibly small magnetocrystalline anisotropy and hi...
