Abstract

Tetragonally distorted FeCo-Ti-N films were prepared on a Rh(001) underlayer. Uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy was observed for FeCo-Ti-N films with a thickness of 23.5 nm, and the c/a lattice distortion reached 1.08. The anisotropy constant (Ku) was estimated to be a minimum of 0.57 MJ·m−3 (5.7 × 106 ergs·cm−3). These results show that the combination of Ti and N additive elements could be effective for inducing lattice distortion in FeCo-based alloys on a Rh under layer, and that the lattice distortion increases Ku.
