Soft Magnetic Alloy for Thin-Film and Microelectronic Applications
Cell Lab Nickel/Iron (Ni/Fe 81/19 wt.%) Pellets are precision-engineered alloy evaporation materials designed for magnetic thin films, microelectronic components, and sensor applications. The Ni–Fe system—often referred to as Permalloy—is valued for its low thermal expansion, excellent soft magnetic behaviour, and corrosion resistance, making it a cornerstone material for flux guides, magneto-resistive sensors, and bubble memory devices.
These pellets provide high stability during E-beam and thermal evaporation, ensuring consistent thin-film composition and uniformity across substrates.
Optimised Composition (Ni/Fe 81/19 wt.%) – Offers ideal balance between permeability, low coercivity, and thermal stability.
Soft Magnetic Characteristics – Ideal for magneto-resistive thin films and high-frequency sensor elements.
High Purity and Uniformity – Ensures consistent magnetic and electrical performance.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for long-term use in controlled environments.
Customisable Specifications – Dimensions and purity can be tailored upon request for research or industrial use.

Q1: What makes NiFe alloys ideal for magnetic thin films?
Their high magnetic permeability, low coercive force, and thermal stability enable excellent control in magnetic field-sensitive devices.
Q2: Can Ni/Fe alloys be used for high-frequency applications?
Yes, NiFe thin films exhibit low core loss and stable permeability, making them ideal for RF and microwave magnetic applications.
Q3: What deposition methods are compatible with this material?
It can be applied using E-beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, or sputtering systems with appropriate crucibles.
Q4: Are custom compositions available (e.g., Ni/Fe 80/20 or 78/22)?
Yes, Cell Lab provides composition adjustments and size customisation based on specific research or production requirements.
You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
