We have characterized UFe2+x films prepared by sputter deposition onto fused silica (SiO2) and Si(111) substrates with the film thickness ranging from 75 nm to 900 nm. The Xray diffraction results showed an amorphous character of the deposited material.
Some of the films showed in addition a pattern of highly textured cubic Laves phase. Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy with 2 MeV He+ ions has been used to determine the composition, thickness and concentration depth profile of the films.
A large ageing affect was observed within 1 month after that the films were exposed to air. Magnetic measurements revealed TC increasing with relative Fe concentration and reaching approx. 450 K in UFe3.0.
