Fabrication of nonepitaxially grown double-layered FePt:C/FeCoNi thin films for perpendicular recording

Highly oriented nonepitaxially grown L10 FePt films

Perpendicular Thin Films of Carbon-Doped FePt for Ultrahigh-Density Magnetic Recording Media

The microstructural and magnetic properties of the carbon-doped equiatmoic (Fe50Pt50)1 C thin films, prepared by dc magnetron cosputtering on MgO (100) substrates held at 400 C, were investigated. Particles consisting of the highly anisotropic tetragonal L10 FePt phase and embedded in a C matrix were obtained. By controlling the added C content, the samples with average grain size of 5 nm were ...

An Investigation of SILAR Grown CdO Thin Films

Cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films were deposited on the glass substrate by the modified SILAR method, using cadmium acetate dihydrate and ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution as precursors. The structural, surface morphological, elemental composition and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, EDAX,...

L10,(001)-oriented FePt:B2O3 composite films for perpendicular recording

CrPt3 thin film media for perpendicular or magneto-optical recording

The magnetic properties of CrPt3 L12 ferrimagnetic thin films have been studied. Films were produced by sputtering multilayers of Cr and Pt onto silicon nitride coated silicon substrates. The as-deposited films are nonmagnetic. An anneal at ;800 °C results in ferrimagnetic behavior with a perpendicular easy-axis. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! measurements show tha...
