The influence of Cu, Ag, and Au additives on the L1 0 ordering, texture, and grain size of
FePt thin films has been examined. Lattice parameter data indicated that Au and Ag …

We have investigated the effect of Cu addition to the FePt alloy on the ordering kinetics and
the coercivities of sputter deposited thin films. By alloying 4at% Cu, the temperature that A1 …

The tremendous increase in areal density of hard disk drives is mainly ascribed to harmonic
development between magnetic recording media and heads in their scaling, especially …

A highly ordered L 1 0 FePt phase was directly achieved by using 2 MeV He-ion irradiation
without conventional postannealing. The coercivity greater than 5700 Oe can be obtained …

We describe structural and magnetic measurements of polycrystalline, L1 0 chemically
ordered Fe (55–60) Pt (45–40) films as a function of film thickness (from 3 to 13 nm) and …

Publisher Summary Fe–Pt alloys are known to exhibit high coercivity due to high
magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of the L1 0 FePt phase. The main intrinsic magnetic …

In this study, Fe52Pt48 thin films were DC magnetron sputter‐deposited at room temperature
onto thermally oxidized silicon wafers. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was employed to …

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 …

Differential scanning calorimetry is used to investigate the A 1 to L 1 0 ordering
transformation in binary FePt films with compositions in the range of 39.3− 55.3 at.% Pt and …

For perpendicular magnetic recording, a design of using MgO as a seed layer and an
intermediate layer is introduced. By annealing the multilayer film with a stack structure of …
