Abstract
The influence of the deposition of an ultrathin Ag top layer on the structure and magnetic properties of FePt thin films has been investigated. Crystallographic ordering of the L10 face-centered-tetragonal (fct) FePt phase was significantly promoted when a Ag layer was deposited on top of the film. The increased fraction of hard magnetic L10 fct FePt phase led to a dramatic increase of coercivity from 1 to about 6.0 kOe. The δM curves suggested exchange decoupling of magnetic grains. A perpendicular FePt film with a coercivity of 5.0 kOe and remanent squareness of 0.98 was achieved with a CrRu underlayer and the Ag top layer.
