The demands for magnetic sensors are uprising due to the rapid development of smart equipments and internet of things. Exploring magnetic sensitive materials which are easily obtainable and of low cost thereby become of great significance. Carbon film with crystallized features was recently reported with room-temperature ferro-magnetism and magnetoresistance, owing to its spin-orbital interactions at the graphene edges and temperature-depending carrier transport properties. Such phenomena indicate that the film can serve as a novel magnetic sensitive material. In this study, carbon films with vertically aligned nano-crystallites were obtained by a plasma-assisted physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Basic test circuits were built on the films, and the sensing properties were investigated in external magnetic fields with different intensities and relative angles to the films surface. The results showed that the carbon-based sensing devices were capable to work in the temperature region of 250-400 K. The minimum field intensity and angle change to which the device can respond were 1 mT and 2 degrees. By substrate-introduced enhancement, the maximum changing-rate of the film resistance could reach to 1100%/T. This research pointed out a practical and simple way to build magnetic sensors with PVD carbon films. |
