摘要
We investigated on magnetic properties of magnetostrictive Fe81Ga19 films grown on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates under various mechanical strains. The unstrained Fe81Ga19 films exhibit a significant uniaxial magnetic anisotropy due to a residual stress in PET substrates. It was found that the squareness of hysteresis loops can be tuned by an application of strains, inward/compressive or outward/tensile bending of the films. A modified Stoner-Wohlfarth model with considering a distribution of easy axes in polycrystalline films was developed to account for the mechanically tunable magnetic properties in flexible Fe81Ga19 films. These results provide an alternative way to tune mechanically magnetic properties, which is particularly important for developing flexible magnetoelectronic devices.
