摘要：
The microstructures of Co-Al-O thin films of wide varieties of compositions are studied by transmission electron microscopy and small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). In the superparamagnetic specimens, high resolution electron microscope images reveal that isolated spherical Co particles are surrounded by an amorphous aluminum oxide matrix. However, in the soft ferromagnetic films, the shape of the Co particles is prolate ellipsoidal. SAXS intensities from the soft magnetic specimens decrease inversely with the wave vector, q, in a low wave-vector region, while an interparticle interference peak is observed for the superparamagnetic specimens. The scattering profiles of the soft magnetic films imply that the Co particles have a cylindrical shape and are randomly oriented. The correlation between the magnetic properties and the microstructures is discussed. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(00)00802-1].
