Abstract
This study deposited a cobalt (Co) film on the Al2O3(0001) substrate by a flash evaporation method to examine the structural and magnetic property variations depending on the various post-annealing temperatures. Co-film formed islands during annealing due to the surface energy mismatch between the metallic film and the insulating substrate. As a result, the post-annealed Co particles formed an ellipsoid shape with improved crystallinity as temperature increased. Structural analysis confirmed that the Co particles grew in the Co(111)-oriented FCC structure. Interestingly, there are different annealing-temperature-dependent characteristics of magnetic properties depending on the magnetic field direction due to the competing nature between the crystalline and shape anisotropy of the aggregated Co particles.
