Structural characterization and magnetic response of poly(p-xylylene)-MnSb and MnSb films deposited at cryogenic temperature.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we employed several experimental techniques to investigate structure and magnetic properties of poly(p-xylylene)-MnSb composites synthesized by low-temperature vapor deposition polymerization technique and MnSb films deposited at various temperatures. The presence of MnSb nanocrystallites in the studied films was verified by the results of X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy studies. The obtained data revealed the formation of Sb-rich sublayer with well-oriented Sb grains near the susbtrate, which seems to act as a buffer for the consequent poly(p-xylylene)-MnSb or MnSb layer growth. Increasing the polymer content results in qualitative change of surface morphology of studied films. At high polymer content the hybrid nanocomposite with MnSb nanopart
