Abstract: Fe-30.0 mol%P The thin films were solution-treated at 1173 K for 60
s in vacuum and subsequently cooled by argon gas flow. The as-deposited thin
films possess ultra-fine grains resulting in a long-range disorder structure.
After the heat treatment, (\gammaFe, Pd) phase with an fcc
structure is re-crystallized and the crystallized thin films show the texture
orientation with (111) and (100) planes parallel to the surfaces of the thin
films. Magnetic properties of the thin films are also affected by the crystal
structure and grain size. The rectangularity of the hysteresis loop has been
improved in the solution-treated thin films.
