ABSTERACT (Fe90Co10)100-x Nx ;(x=0~40) thin films were prepared by reactive RF magnetron sputtering. The flow rate ratio of nitrogen (N2/Ar+N2) in the system was controlled at 0~15 vol %. The films were post-annealed in hydrogen furnace between 200 and 400℃in order to get high moment structures and compositions. X-ray diffraction indicated that the structure of the films was nanocrystal for as-deposited films. TEM study and AES compositions analysis revealed that the contents of nitrogen under 20 at%, low nitrogen concentrated compound was formed in the film that it is a magnetic phase. As the content of nitrogen in films is larger than 30 at %, high nitrogen concentrated compound was formed that it is a magnetic phase. It is a magnetic phase. VSM measurements showed that the saturation magnetization of (Fe90Co10)100-x Nx ;(x=10~20) thin film was 3% larger than that of Fe90 Co10 thin film. After annealing at 200℃, the nitrogen in the film would disappeared rapidly . The content of nitrogen was decreased dramatically as heat-treated temperate increased. Meanwhile,α-Fe and FeCo phases were formed at the films. After heat-treated at high temperature , the magnetic properties of low nitrogen concentrated and high nitrogen concentrated (Fe90Co10)100-x Nx films were identical。
