Abstract
The microstructure of (001)
and
(M = Zn or Fe) thin films grown by inverted cylindrical magnetron
sputtering was investigated by means of electron microscopy. The
imperfections present in the films are discussed. Special attention is paid
to nanoscale
inclusions. The density of [001]
precipitates was
studied in
and
thin films
prepared under identical conditions. The density decreases for increasing
Zn-content and is unaffected in case of Fe-substitution.
