Half-metallic nanocrystalline magnetite (Fe3O4) thin films, with different thicknesses were developed on polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) substrates, by reactive sputtering at room temperature. Fe3O4 film (200-nm thick)/PET heterostructures possess superior electrical and magnetic characteristics, w...
