Abstract

Cubic Fe4N epitaxial layers have been grown on a MgO (100) substrate by atmospheric pressure halide vapor-phase epitaxy using FeCl3 and NH3 as the starting materials. The full width at half maximum of the X-ray (200) diffraction peak for the Fe4N epitaxial layer was about 0.05°. Transmission electron diffraction measurements revealed a diffraction pattern similar to that of a single crystal with cubic structure. The saturation magnetization and coercive force of an Fe4N epitaxial layer deposited at 600 °C were 182.0 emu g−1 and 30 Oe, respectively. It was found, for the first time, that the epitaxial layer of Fe4N displayed anomalous light reflectivity modulated by an external magnetic field.
