Manipulations of the coercivity and the Kerr signal of the NiFe films by a ZnO underlayer

In this study, Ni50Fe50 films with different thicknesses were prepared on a ZnO(0001) film that was grown on a conductive Si(100) substrate. The ZnO(0001) film was characterized to be a ferroelectric layer with a value of piezoelectric constant, d33, equal to 5.0pm/V. Monotonic decreases in the coer...
