Microstructure, magneto-transport and magnetic properties of Gd-doped magnetron-sputtered amorphous carbon

L. Zeng, E. Helgren, F. Hellman +3

The magnetic rare earth element gadolinium (Gd) was doped into thin films of amorphous carbon (hydrogenated \textit{a}-C:H, or hydrogen-free \textit{a}-C) using magnetron co-sputte…
