Abstract

A solution phase route to synthesize films of nickel nitride is presented here. The use of controlled amounts of amine results in sols; these can be coated onto copper substrates via a spin coating method. Pyrolysis of these films leads to nickel nitride. The annealing temperature has a strong influence both on the phase formation as well as on the degree of crystallinity of the thin films deposited. The structural properties and the grain size of films are determined by X-ray diffractometer. Magnetic characterization is performed using vibrating sample magnetometer. The surface morphology is investigated using scanning electron microscope.
