Abstract

The optical properties of RF sputtered polycrystalline permalloy oxide (PyO) thin films were studied in the infrared by variable angle ellipsometry. The dispersion of PyO shows a Lorentzian dispersion peak at 381.5 cm-1. We attribute this peak to the transverse optical phonon of PyO. This peak is consistent with a rocksalt crystal structure for the Ni0.81Fe0.19O1-δ thin films.
