Abstract :
Magnetite (Fe3O4) films were synthesized at 95°C on Au and stainless steel substrate from an aqueous solution (pH=~6.8) of FeSO4 by conducting ac current (Vp-p=1~40 V, f=10 Hz~100 kHz) between the substrate and a Pt electrode. The deposition rate increased from ~8 nm/min to ~18 nm/min as the frequency of the current increased from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. The films were polycrystalline having magnetic properties favorably compared to those of bulk Fe3O4
