Item Magnetic properties of Fe56Pd44−xGdx thin films(American Institute of Physics, 2024) Sahari, Mohamed Abdennour; Olivetti, Elena Sonia; Magni, Alessandro; Fiore, Gianluca; Boudissa, Mokhtar; Tiberto, Paola; Bahamida, Saida; Coïsson, MarcoIn this paper, we have studied the effect on the structure and magnetic properties of partial Pd substitution by Gd in Fe-Pd thin films of nominal composition Fe56Pd44−xGdx (x = 1, 3, 5, and 7), deposited onto Si(100) and Si(100)/SiO2 substrates by thermal evaporation. Several techniques contribute to the characterization of their microstructure and magnetic properties, such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, alternating gradient field magnetometry, and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). X-ray diffraction shows that the as-deposited films are either amorphous or contain a disordered FePd phase, depending on the film thickness. The transformation of disordered fcc-FePd into ordered fct-FePd has been induced by a heat treatment at 530 °C for 4 h. The addition of gadolinium leads to a reduction in the coercivity as a consequence of the emergence of soft phases and of the progressive reduction of the fct-FePd phase, which is primarily responsible for the observed maze magnetic domains. The exchange coupling between the soft phase and the hard fct-FePd phase is demonstrated by first-order reversal curves (FORCs).Item Mixed exchange-coupled soft α-(Fe80Pd20) and hard L10FePd phases in Fe64Pd36 thin films studied by first order reversal curves(Science direct, 2017) Bahamida, Saida; Fnidikia, A.; Coïssonb, M.Fe64Pd36 thin films have been fabricated by thermal evaporation onto single-crystal Si(1 0 0) substrates. After suitable thermal treatments, we demonstrate that two different magnetic phases can coexist in the same alloy, one α-(Fe80Pd20) which is magnetically soft, and one L10 FePd which is magnetically hard, giving rise to exchange coupling between them through their interfaces, without needing to artificially nanostructure the material. The structural and magnetic properties of as-prepared and furnace annealed samples are therefore studied by means of X-ray diffractometry, conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy, atomic and magnetic force microscopy and high sensitivity magnetometry. As prepared samples are characterised by different phases having soft magnetic properties: α-(Fe80Pd20) and disordered (fcc) FePd phases with different compositions. Furnace annealing in vacuum at 600 °C for one hour promotes the transformation of the fcc phases into the L10 one, while α-(Fe80Pd20) remains largely unaffected. The structural transformations are accompanied by an increase of the coercive field without any significant changes of the saturation magnetisation value. In the sample annealed at 600 °C, magnetisation reversal occurs in two steps: one at lower fields, attributed to the soft phase, and one at much larger fields, attributed to the hard phase and to the fraction of the soft one coupled to it. The exchange coupling between the two phases is demonstrated and thoroughly analysed by means of first order reversal curvesItem Effect of the A1 to L10 transformation on the structure and magnetic properties of polycrystalline Fe56Pd44 alloy thin films produced by thermal evaporation technique(Elsevier, 2018) Bahamida, Saida; Fnidiki, A.; Coïsson, M.; Barrera, G.; Celegato, F.; Olivetti, E.S.; Tiberto, P.; Laggoun, A.; Boudissa, M.X-ray diffraction, conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer techniques have been used to characterize the evolution of the microstructure and of the magnetic properties of phase transformation from disordered FePd face-centred cubic (A1) phase, to an ordered phase L10 FePd of tetragonal structure. This study was carried out by isothermally annealing in vacuum at 550 °C, as a function of annealing time, a Fe56Pd44 thin film alloy deposited on silicon substrate. The structural transformations are accompanied by a decrease of the (c/a) ratio and by an increase of the coercive field as a function of annealing time. After 10 min of annealing, the (c/a) ratio is equal to 0.945, which indicates that the disordered FePd phase is completely transformed into the ordered L10 FePd phase. By increasing annealing time, the microstructure of the alloy evolves, antiphase boundaries and twin boundaries develop. In contrast to the relationship most commonly described in the literature, that the highest coercivity corresponds to a two-phase ordered/disordered mixture, in ours studies the maximum value for coercivity corresponds to the fully ordered state. Furthermore, we propose that the high coercivity in these films is due to pinning centres of magnetic domain walls by antiphase boundaries and twin boundariesItem Electrostatic solitary structures in a nonthermal plasma(2007) Annou, K.; Bahamida, Saida; Annou, R.An investigation on the effect of dust temperature and dust streaming on dust acoustic solitary waves in unmagnetized dusty plasma, whose constituents are inertial charged dust grains, non-thermal electrons and ions has been conducted. Sagdeev pseudo potential method which takes into account the full nonlinearity of plasma equations is used here to study solitary wave solutionItem Effects of nonthermal ion distribution and dust temperature on nonlinear dust acoustic solitary waves(2007) Annou, K.; Bahamida, Saida; Annou, R.An investigation of dust-acoustic solitary waves in unmagnetized dusty plasma whose constituents are inertial charged dust grains, Boltzmannian electrons and nonthermal ions has been conducted taking into account finite dust temperature. The pseudo-potential been used to study solitary solution. The existence of solitary waves of a negative potential is reportedItem Ion-acoustic solitons in electron positron nonthermal plasma(2007) Bahamida, Saida; Annou, K.; Annou, R.Electron-positron plasmas are believed to exist in the early universe, in active galactic nuclei, and in pulsar magnetospheres. Most of the astrophysical plasmas usually contain ions as well in addition to electrons and positrons. In this work, the ion-acoustic solitons are investigated in three-component plasmas, whose constituents are inertial ions, nonthermal electrons, and Boltzmannian positrons. The properties of stationary structures are studied by pseudopotential approach, which is valid for large amplitude. It is found that the conditions which support the existence of solitons are alteredItem Effects of vortex-like electron-positron distribution on solitary waves in plasma(2007) Bahamida, Saida; Annou, K.; Annou, R.Electron-positron plasmas are believed to exist in the early universe, in active galactic nuclei, and in pulsar magnetospheres. Most of the astrophysical plasmas usually contain ions as well in addition to electrons and positrons. In this work, the ion-acoustic solitons are investigated in three-component plasmas, whose constituents are inertial ions, vortex-like electrons and positron. The properties of stationary structures are studied by pseudo-potential approach, which is valid for large amplitudeItem A comparative structural and magnetic study of Fe100-xPdx(x=15, 20 and 36) thin films deposited on Si (100) and glass substrates(Elsevier, 2015) Bahamida, Saida; Fnidiki, A.; Laggoun, A.; Guittoum, A.Various structural and magnetic characterization techniques have been used to investigate Fe100-xPdx (x=15, 20 and 36) thin films deposited onto silicon and glass substrates, by thermal evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the presence of supersaturated solid solution with bcc structure for Pd concentrations of 15% and 20%. However, for 36% of Pd, in addition to the supersaturated α-FePd (bcc) phase, another disordered FePd3 phase with fcc structure is present. At 20 at% Pd, the magnetic characterization shows a saturation of the bcc (α-FePd) phase and the appearance of the fcc phase. The correlation between the structure and magnetic properties allows us to compare the two substrates effects on deposited thin films. As results, the measurements indicate that the grain size D, the thin film thickness and the d(110) spacing significantly affect the magnetic coercivity HC. The Fe-Pd alloys deposited on a monocrystalline Si (100) and glass substrate show that the coercivity HC is given by the random anisotropy model. & 2015Item Magnetic properties of bcc and bcc-fcc Fe-Pd alloys produce by thermal evaporation technique(Elsevier, 2014) Bahamida, Saida; Laggoun, Ali; Guittoum, Abderrahim; Fnidiki, Abeslem; Boudissa, MokhtarItem Structural and mössbauer studies of evaporated Fe100-xPdx thin films(EDP Sciences, 2014) Laggoun, Ali; Guittoum, Abderrahim; Bahamida, Saida; Boudissa, Mokhtar; Fnidiki, AbdesslemIn order to study the influence of palladium atom on structural and hyperfine properties, Fe100-xPdx films (x = 15, 20 and 36 at.%) were deposited by evaporation method onto a Si (1 0 0) substrate. They were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS). X-ray diffraction analysis shows the presence of supersaturated solid solution with bcc structure for Pd concentration of 15% and 20%. However, for 36% of Pd, in addition to the supersaturated α-FePd (bcc) phase, another disordered FePd3 phase with fcc structure is present. The grain size did not change with Pd concentration and was about 11 nm, and the lattice parameter increased from 0.287 Å to 0.290 Å with an increasing Pd concentration. The adjustment of Mössbauer spectra confirms the results obtained by X-ray diffraction. Moreover, the Mössbauer spectra have shown that a magnetic texture is present for samples with 20 and 36%. For these Pd concentrations, we believe that a development of an out-of plane magnetic anisotropy occurs in our films
