Abstract:

The submicron chromium dioxide(CrO2) thin film was fabricated on a poly-crystal titania(TiO2) film using Si wafers as substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. X-Ray diffraction patterns show that the CrO2 films were pure rutile structure. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images indicate that the CrO2 films consisted of submicron grains with a grain size of 250―750 nm. The magnetic researches reveal that the magnetic easy axis is parallel to the films, and at room temperature, the CrO2 films show linear magnetoresistance.
