Ferrite plating enables were grown by ferrite by plating method in solution at low temperature(<10$0^{\circ}C$). This faciltates the fabrication of new ferrite thin film devices using non- heat-resistant materials(plastic, GaAs ect) as substrates. Combining the ferrite plating with sonochemistry, application of power ultrasonic waves to stimulate chemical reactions, the crystallinity and qualities of films were improved. Modifying the reactions cell and plating conditions further improved the film quality.

Cobalt ferrite thin films on Corming glass substrate were fabricated by a sol-gel method. Cobalt ferrite thin films with the grain size of 20-35 nm and thickness of 50nm were obtained. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and Annealing processes were adopted for comparison of characteristics of the films. Coercivity values were changed with thermal condition and magnetization values were increased as a function of soaking time. With prolonged soaking time, however, it was decreased because of the diffusion of cations from the glass substrate. The RTA process in preparation of cobalt ferrite thin film was the effective way to prevent and to form a single spinel phase in reduced soaking time. The film heated at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes by RTA had coercivity of 2,600 Oe, saturation magnetization 460 emu/㎤, and Mr$.$$\delta$ of 1.43 memu/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Ferrite thin film with glass substrate was prepared by ferrite plating method in order to make sunglass which cut off ultraviolet and electromagnetic field. It has single phase of polycrystalline spinel structure and has gloss like as mirror and has hardness without scratch by scraping with nail. The transmittance of ferrite thin film is lowered near 400nm manifestly, which shows that the ferrite thin film was cut off ultraviolet successfully. Therefore, the sunglass with ferrite plating is use of cut of ultraviolet and electromagnetic field.

We have studied the interfacial diffusion phenomena and the role of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the $Ba-ferrite/SiO_2$ magnetic thin films for high-density recording media. In the interface of amorphous Ba-ferrite ($1900-{\AA}-thick)/SiO_2$ thin film during annealing, the interfacial diffusion started to occur at ${\sim}700^{\circ}C$. As the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$, the interfacial diffusion abruptly proceeded resulting in the high interface roughness and the deterioration of the magnetic properties. In order to control the interfacial diffusion at the high temperature, we introduced ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ buffer layer ($110-{\AA}-thick$) in the interface of $Ba-ferrite/SiO_2$ thin film. During the annealing of $Ba-ferrite/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ thin film even at ${\sim}800^{\circ}C$, the interface was very smooth. The smooth interface of the film was also clearly shown by the cross-sectional FESEM. The magnetic properties, such as saturation magnetization 3nd intrinsic coercivity, were also enhanced, due to the inhibition of interfacial diffusion by the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ buffer layer. Our study suggests that the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ buffer layer act as a useful interfacial diffusion barrier in the $Ba-ferrite/SiO_2$ thin films.

In this paper, we studied structural and magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite thin film deposited on Si(100) substrate with TiO$_2$ underlayer. Ba-ferrite thin films with TiO$_2$ underlayer were deposited by reactive RF/DC magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. TiO$_2$ underlayer was reactive sputtered with $O_2$. After deposition, the thin films were annealed at vatious temperatures to get the crystallized sample. Underlayer was used to prevent interdiffusion from Ba-ferrite thin film to substrate. The growth of Ba-ferrite thin films was influenced by TiO$_2$ underlayer. Easy magnetization direction is in-plane. From these results the Ba-ferrite film with TiO$_2$ underlayer can be used as longitudinal recording media.

In this paper, we studied structural and magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite thin film deposited on Si(100) substrate with various underlayers. Ba-ferrite thin films with various underlayers were deposited by reactive RF/DC magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. various underlayers was reactive sputtered with O$_2$. After deposition, the thin films were annealed at 850 $^{\circ}C$ to get the crystallized sample. Underlayers were used to prevent interdiffusion from Ba-ferrite thin film to substrate. The growth of Ba-ferrite thin films was influenced by underlayers. Easy magnetization direction is in-plane. From these results the Ba-ferrite film with various underlayers can be used as longitudinal recording media.

The crystallization of amorphous Ba-ferrite/sapphire(001) thin films was studied in real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering experiments. In the sputter-grown amorphous films, we found the existence of epitaxial $Fe_3O_4$ interfacial crystallites (50-${\AA}$-thick), well aligned $[0.03^circ$full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)] to the sapphire [001] direction. The amorphous precursor was crystallized to epitaxial Ba-ferrite and \alpha-Fe_2O_3$grains in two steps; i) the nucleation of crystalline \alpha-Fe_2O_3$ phase started at $300^circ{C}$ together with the transformation of the $Fe_3O_4$ crystallites to the \alpha-Fe_2O_3$ crystallites, ii) the nucleation of Ba-ferrite phase occurred at temperature above $600^circ{C}$. In the crystallized films irrespective of the film thickness, the crystal domain size of the \alpha-Fe_2O_3$grains was about 250 ${\AA}$ in the film plane, similar to that of the Ba-ferrite grains.

The nanoparticle magnetite of which diameter was about 3 nm was synthesized in a homogeneous aqueous solution without a template. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticle was easily oxidized to maghemite in an ambient condition. The magnetic properties of the ferrite nanoparticle show superparamagnetism at room temperature and its blocking temperature is around 93 K. Modifying the sequential adsorption method of metal bisphosphonate, we have prepared a multilayer thin film of the ferrite nanoparticle on planar substrates such as glass, quartz and Si wafer. In this multilayer the ferrite nanoparticle layer and an alkylbisphosphonate layer are alternately placed on the substrates by simple immersion in the solutions of the ferrite nanoparticle and 1, 10-decanediylbis (phosphonic acid) (DBPA), alternately. This is the first example, as far as we know, of nanoparticle/alkyl-bisphosphonate multilayer which is an analogy of metal bisphosphonate multilayer. UV-visible absorption and infrared reflection-absorption studies show that the growth of each layer is very systematic and the film is considerably optically transparent to visible light of 400-700 nm. Atomic force microscopic images of the film show that the surface morphology of the film follows that of the substrate in μm-scale image and the nanoparticle-terminated surface is differentiated from the DBPA-terminated one in nm-scale image. The magnetic properties of this ferrite/DBPA thin film are almost the same as those of the ferrite nanoparticle powder only.

Nickel-ferrite $Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ thin films with several composition for Ni on glass substrate was prepared by ferrite plating method in order to make sunglass which cut off ultraviolet and shield electromagnetic field. It has single phase of polycrystalline spinel structure and has gloss as mirror and has high hardness which is no scratch while scraping by using nail. The transmittance of nickel-ferrite thin film is lowered to zero below 400 nm manifestly. And it shows that the nickel-ferrite thin film in nickel composition rate x = 0.09 was most cut oil ultraviolet when compared with goods of other company in the cut off effect of ultraviolet. Therefore, sunglasses coated with $Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ thin film can be used in removing ultraviolet and electromagnetic field.
