Highly anisotropic Nd2Fe14B thin film has been produced by triggering crystallization of sputter-deposited amorphous Nd–Fe–B layer by deposition of crystalline Cr overlayer. A downward growth of strongly textured Nd2Fe14B columnar grains was observed, starting from the interface between the Nd–Fe–B amorphous layer and the Cr overlayer. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscope observation results suggest that the possible mechanism of this peculiar crystallization is the heterogeneous nucleation at the surface of Nd–Fe–B amorphous layer, triggered by the crystalline Cr overlayer.
