High-Rate Deposition of Ferrite Films in Aqueous Solution by Light-Enhanced Ferrite Plating

Abstract
By irradiating the substrate surface with a Xe-lamp at 450 W/cm2, the deposition rate of Fe3O4 film in ferrite plating was increased by a factor of 10 (from ∼30 nm/min to ∼320 nm/min). The high deposition rate in light-enhanced ferrite plating cannot be simply ascribed to the increase of thermal energy.
