Abstract
[FePt 2 nm/Ag d nm]10 (d=0—11) multilayers were prepared on single crystal MgO(100) substrates kept at room temperature and 250 ℃ by means of magnetosputtering. L10-FePt/Ag granular films with perpendicular magn etic anis otropy and high coercivity have been obtained after vacuum annealing the multila yers deposited on substrates kept at 250 ℃ for 15 min. X-ray diffraction result s indicate that FePt particles have a strong [001] orientation. The size of Fe Pt particles decreases with the increase of the thickness of Ag layer. After vac uum annealing the [FePt 2 nm/Ag 9 nm]10 films at 600 ℃ for 15 min, FePt /Ag granular films are obtained with only 8 nm of particle size and 692 kA/m of coercivity. Isothermal magnetization remanence and dc-demagnetization remanence measurements show that no magnetic exchange coupling between magnetic particles can be observed. Such a kind of films is suitable for future ultra-density perp endicular magnetic recording medium.
