Hi all, I'm a first year graduate student, just started my research topic. I want to fabricate some structures using iron or iron oxide. But I don't know what is the conventional method to grow a iron/iron oxide film? Is iron an incompatible material for MEMS? Why there's so little literature about it? If I can't use iron, what are some most commonly used magnetic materials in MEMS? I know nickel is one of them. Thank you so much for your help!
