Abstract

$Fe_3O_4$(magnetite) having half metallic property attracts great attention material with high curie temperature in spintronics. $Fe_3O_4$ thin films and nanowires were grown onto c-$Al_2O_3$(0001) at various substrate temperatures. $Fe_3O_4$ films deposited from 300 to $600^{\circ}C$ are influenced by thermal stress induced from mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient between $Fe_3O_4$ and $Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrate. The $Fe_3O_4$ nanowires grown at $640^{\circ}C$ showed a diameter of 130 nm and a length of $2-10{\mu}m$. The nanowire arrays fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique have high coercivity($H_c$) of 608 Oe and Squareness($M_r/M_s$) of 0.68 in perpendicular direction.
