Abstract: Ni(sub0.82)Fe(sub0.18)O(100) epitaxial films have been grown by solid-source metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. A high exchange field and low coercivity are attributed to the high in-plane anisotropy and the uncompensated spins in the interface. The reduction in blocking temperature may relate to the local Fe-O-Fe or Fe-O-Ni bonding.
