Abstract
In this work, nickel ferrite thin films were prepared using dc reactive sputtering technique. A new geometrical configuration of the sputtered target is proposed. It includes coating of an iron target with nickel thin film with lower area and then used it as a co-sputtering target to prepare nickel ferrite thin films on glass substrates. This configuration can be considered a novel method to prepare this material with a one-step process using the same deposition system. The structural and spectroscopic characteristics of the prepared material were determined and the formation of the nanostructures within the deposited films was confirmed. The prepared nanomaterial showed high structural purity with energy band gap in the typical range.
期刊介绍：
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
