  Abstract

Fe thin films were deposited directly and via Ag underlayer on glass and MgO(100) substrates by MBE. Polycrystal Fe films grew on the glass substrate while single crystal films grew on the MgO(100) substrate. Fe film growth followed the Volmer-Weber mode for both cases. The Fe film structure was influenced by the surface roughness of Ag underlayer at the early stage of film growth. The relationships between the Fe thin film morphology and the magnetic properties are discussed.

Key Words: Fe thin film, microstructure, magnetic property, MgO(100), single crystal
