Abstract
FePt thin films with the addition of Ag layers have been fabricated in order to study the microstructure and magnetic properties via a molecular beam epitaxy technique on MgO (001) single-crystal substrates at 350°C. The enhancement of the coercivity is due to the film structures changed from continuous state to an isolated particulate character, not an ordering enhancement of FePt films with Ag addition. Studies of angular dependent coercivity show a tendency of a domain-wall motion shift toward rotation of reverse-domain type with the addition of Ag layers into the FePt films. The intergrain interaction was confirmed from the Kelly-Henkel plot that indicated FePt films with Ag addition can lead to the reduction of intergrain exchange coupling.
