Abstract

A functional particle-dispersed thin film and a granular magnetic thin film are described with production processes thereof. The thin film is composed of plural seed crystal particles each dispersedly formed on a matrix or primary coat each having crystalline orientation by growing epitaxially to the matrix or primary coat so as to align its crystal orientation with that of the matrix or primary coat, and functional particles each formed around the plural seed crystal particles by growing epitaxially to and surrounding each of the plural seed crystal particles.
