Thin ferromagnetic films were created by depositing Mn.5Zn.5Fe2O4 onto MgO using Radio Frequency sputtering. The samples were tested for quality of epitaxial growth, rromagnetic
properties, and film composition. X-Ray Diffraction, Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, and Rutherford Scattering data were collected from the sample. High deposition temperature films showed good
epitaxy, ferromagnetic properties, and similar film to target composition. There was evidence of Mg dissipating into the film and thus further analysis and tests must be completed before making
definite conclusions.
