Thin Film Deposition

TERFERNOL-D

ID: AGC20.001.01

DESCRIPTION

Terfenol-D, an intermetallic compound of Fe-Tb-Dy, is a well-known magnetoelastic material. It plays a key role in both direct and converse multiferroic applications due to its strong coupling between magnetization and strain. In comparison with bulk Terfenol-D, thin film Terfenol-D has distinctive advantages such as CMOS compatible fabrication process, improved ductility, moderately hard magnetic properties, etc.
