Abstract

Atomic ordering and its effect on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and coercive force in Co50Pt50 and Co50Pt50 − xPdx(x = 3–10 at %) alloy films are investigated. The dependence of the coercive force on the film thickness is studied. It is shown that thin films of the ordered alloys become magnetically uniaxial with the easy magnetic axis normal to the plane of the film. Such films can be used for magnetic and thermomagnetic data recording and storage.
