Abstract

The longitudinal CoCrPt thin films have been prepared on CrW underlayer at room temperature. The dependence of CoCrPt’s structure and magnetic properties on the Pt content was investigated. The addition of platinum element in the CoCrPt magnetic layer increases the lattice constant and longitudinal coercivity of the CoCrPt thin films. The coercivity mechanism of the CoCrPt thin film is analyzed by using the micromagnetic models, with careful discussions of the uniaxial crystalline anisotropy and the magnetostriction. It is found that the magnetostriction effects play an important role on the coercivity mechanisms when the Pt content is more than 15 at. % Pt concentrate.
