Iron-nickel, thin-film applications

Magnetic thin films of nickel-iron (usually deposited at an 80 20 composition by weight) exhibit a number of unusual properties, which have led to many experimental and theoretical studies, as well as to impoitant applications in binary storage and switching, magnetic amplifiers, and magneto-optical Kerr-effect displays,... 

Thin films of widely variable composition (mainly rare earth oxides, nickel, iron and other metal oxides, but also other simple and complex compounds) have been used for a variety of purposes (namely in semiconductor technology, optical and electronic applications...
