An aqueous solution polyethyleneimine (PEI) and different metal ions stabilized with EDTA, was spin coated on hydrophilized Si substrates and subsequently annealed under different atmospheres. Homogeneous, dense polycrystalline films are obtained at optimized conditions of 950 °C under flowing O2. The morphology and magnetic properties of the samples are compared with films obtained by Pulsed Laser Deposition.engSolution depositionLaser ablationMagnetic propertiesjournal article10.1557/opl.2012.1040open access
