Anisotropy is an important and widely present characteristic of materials that provides
desired direction-dependent properties. In particular, the introduction of anisotropy into …

In recent years, the stability of recorded data against thermal decay has become an
important criterion for judging the performance of magnetic recording systems. Continued …

Some of the most relevant finite-size and surface effects in the magnetic and transport
properties of magnetic fine particles and granular solids are reviewed. The stability of the …

High K/sub u/, uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, materials are generally attractive for
ultrahigh density magnetic recording applications as they allow smaller, thermally stable …

In current longitudinal magnetic recording media, high areal density and low noise are
achieved by statistical averaging over several hundred weakly coupled ferromagnetic grains …

Highly chemically ordered L10 FePtX–Y nano‐granular films with high perpendicular
magnetic anisotropy are key media approaches for future heat‐assisted magnetic recording …

Cobalt (Co) is one of the most important 3d transition metal elements used in the
development of magnetic materials, especially in hard magnetic materials, from the early Co …

▪ Abstract Areal density progress in magnetic recording is largely determined by the ability to
fabricate low-noise, granular thin lm media with sufficient stability against thermal agitation …

We report results on highly oriented, face-centered tetragonal ordered CoPt and FePt thin
films grown nonepitaxially by directly depositing films on thermally oxidized Si substrates …

Abstract Among nanoalloys, Co–Pt type (CoPt or FePt) supported nanostructures are very
interesting systems due to the direct link between atom arrangement and magnetic behavior …
