Iron Nanostructures Fabricated by Electron Beam Induced Deposition and its Magnetic Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electron beam induced deposition (EBID) was carried out with gas introduction systems attached to field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Using iron carbonyl and ferrocene, three dimensional (3-D) antenna structures were fabricated in the range of 30-50 nm in diameter and 500-1000 nm in size. Post-deposition annealing of iron nanostructures resulted in the formation of crystalline alpha-iron and iron carbide phases. The iron concentration was controlled by the partial pressure of iron carbonyl and ferrocene. Electron holography observation with field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM) revealed that the remanent magnetic flux density Br of the nanostructures also depends on the iron concentration.
