Nitrogen-induced local magnetic and structural properties of sputtered FeAlN thin films
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and x-ray diffraction were used to study a series of rf-reactively sputtered FeAlN thin films with the goal of gaining insight into the origins of their uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) and the effect of sputtering conditions on its thermal stability. At N/Fe=4.6%(±0.5%), N goes into interstitial vacancies without significant reductions in the hyperfine field (Bhf) of the Fe but causing lattice expansions, leading to an increased linewidth in the CEMS spectra of the film while the sample has an in-plane UMA. Reducing the target-to-substrate spacing used in the deposition process does not affect the nitrogen content of the films but yields an increased CEMS linewidth reflecting larger disorder in the local Fe environment. Heavy N doping causes the phase transform into γ′-Fe4N, ε-Fe3N, and ζ-Fe2N phases. A well defined UMA exists in mildly doped FeAlN films when doped N atoms mostly occupy the interstitial sites while FeAl and heavily doped FeAlN films are either isotropic or weakly anisotropic. UMA and its thermal stability are therefore concluded to have a correlation with the local environment of the Fe structure induced by N doping.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
