? Joint research of structural and magnetic properties of Fe0.89Ga0.11 (Fe-Ga) thin films. ? The Fe-Ga samples were grown by magnetron sputtering on glass, Si(1 0 0) and MgO(1 0 0) substrates. ? The crystalline texture depends on the substrate and also on the post growth thermal treatment. ? By modifying the substrate, it is possible to obtain different degrees of texture. From non-textured to monocrystalline samples. ? The magnetic properties are correlated with the structural ones.
