In recent experiments it has been shown that the yield stress of polycrystalline thin films depends separately on the film thickness and the grain size. It was also shown that the grain size dependence varies as the reciprocal of the grain size. In this paper an analysis is presented which leads to these results and provides a more detailed understanding of the origins of the observed behavior.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the structural properties of Ni80Fe20 thin films sputtered on silicon with Cr, Ta and SiO2 buffer layers using transmission electron microscopy. We observe a decrease of the grain size when Ta and SiO2 underlayers are used instead of Cr. Permalloy films deposited on Ta layers are strongly (111) textured while those grown on Cr and SiO2 are mostly randomly oriented. The results are discussed with respect to the nanostructure of both Ta, Cr and SiO2 underlayers and in relation to the variation of the magnetic softness observed in this system.
