Barium ferrite (BaM) has been viewed as a potential candidate for high density hard disk medium. The material possesses high coercivity (Hc), squareness (5) values and high chemical stability. The magnetic properties of BaM film are dependent on its stoichiometry, orientation and microstructures. Pr...
