RESUMEN

The emergence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in amorphous thin films, which eventually transforms the magnetic spins form an in-plane to the out-of-plane configuration, also known as a spin-reorientation transition (SRT), is a fundamental roadblock to attain the high flux concentration advantage of these functional materials for broadband applications. The present work is focused on unfolding the origin of PMA in amorphous thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering. The amorphous films were deposited under a broad range of sputtering pressure (1.6-6.2 mTorr), and its effect on the thin film growth mechanisms was correlated to the static global magnetic behaviours, magnetic domain structure, and dynamic magnetic performance. The films deposited under low-pressure revealed a dominant in-plane uniaxial anisotropy along with an emerging, however feeble, perpendicular component, which eventually evolved as a dominant PMA when deposited under high-pressure sputtering. This change in the nature of anisotropy redefined the orientation of spins from in-plane to out-of-plane. The SRT in amorphous films was attributed to the dramatic change in the growth mechanism of disorder atomic structure from a homogeneously dispersed to a porous columnar microstructure. We suggest the origin of PMA is associated with the columnar growth of the amorphous films, which can be eluded by a careful selection of a deposition pressure regime to avoid its detrimental effect on the soft magnetic performance. To the author's best knowledge, no such report links the sputtering pressure as a governing mechanism of perpendicular magnetisation in technologically important amorphous thin films.

RESUMEN

Metal meshes have emerged as an important class of flexible transparent electrodes. We report on the characteristics of a new class of asymmetric meshes, tiled using a recently discovered family of pentagons. Micron-scale meshes were fabricated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrates via optical lithography, metal evaporation (Ti 10 nm, Pt 50 nm), and lift-off. Three different designs were assessed, each with the same tessellation pattern and line width (5 µm), but with different sizes of the fundamental pentagonal unit. Good mechanical stability was observed for both tensile strain and compressive strain. After 1000 bending cycles, devices subjected to tensile strain showed fractional resistance increases in the range of 8-17%, while devices subjected to compressive strain showed fractional resistance increases in the range of 0-7%. The performance of the pentagonal metal mesh devices as visible transparent heaters via Joule heating was also assessed. Rapid response times (∼15 s) at low bias voltage (≤5 V) and good thermal resistance characteristics (213-258 °C cm2/W) were found using measured thermal imaging data. Deicing of an ice-bearing glass coupon on top of the transparent heater was also successfully demonstrated.
