Effect of lattice mismatch on chemical ordering of epitaxial L10 FePt films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of lattice mismatch on the chemical ordering of epitaxial FePt films was studied. The results showed that the lattice constant scd of the FePt films decreased with increasing lattice mismatch « from about 2.23% to 6.33%. Upon further increase of « to about 8.8%, c increased. On the other hand, the variation of the lattice constant sad of the FePt films showed a reversal behavior to that of c with the increased lattice mismatch. The ratio c /a of the FePt films held a minimum of about 0.9466, while the chemical ordering degree and magnetic anisotropy constant held maximum values for « around 6.33%. These results indicated that the strain from the lattice mismatch favored the ordering of the FePt films. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1851419g

The effects of Ag underlayer and Pt intermediate layers on the microstructure and magnetic properties of epitaxial FePt thin films
In this work, Ag underlayers, which have a slightly larger lattice parameter than FePt, were found not only to induce epitaxial growth of the FePt films but also to reduce the temperature at which the atomic ordering occurred. Without using the Ag underlayer, the FePt film deposited onto the hydrofluoric acid etched-Si substrate was FCC disordered. When Ag underlayers were used the FePt unit ce...
متن کاملEpitaxial L10 FePt films on SrTiO3 (1 0 0) by sputtering
FePt magnetic thin films (20 nm) were deposited on SrTiO3 (1 0 0) single-crystal substrates at 150, 250, and 350 1C by DC magnetron sputtering. The dependence of the structural and magnetic properties of the FePt films on the substrate temperature was studied. At 150 1C, the FePt film showed a (1 1 1) preferred orientation. At 250 1C, the superlattice FePt (0 0 1) peak appeared indicating that ...
متن کاملImprovement of Magnetic Properties and Texture of FePt Thin Films on MgO Substrates by Sn Addition
In this work, we studied the effects of Sn addition on the ordering temperature of FePt thin film. The coercivity of FePtSn film was about 1000 Oe greater than the coercivity of FePt film for an annealing temperature of 600C. Therefore, Sn addition was effective in promoting the L10 ordering and in reducing the ordering temperature of the FePt film. From our X-ray diffraction results, we found ...
متن کاملL 10 ordering and microstructure of FePt thin films with Cu , Ag , and Au additive
The influence of Cu, Ag, and Au additives on the L10 ordering, texture, and grain size of FePt thin films has been examined. Lattice parameter data indicated that Au and Ag additives tended to segregate from FePt, but Cu alloyed with FePt. FePt films with Au or Ag additive showed 1–2 kOe higher coercivity values compared to a pure FePt film after annealing at 450 °C and above for 10 min. The ad...
متن کاملEffects of Ag underlayers on the microstructure and magnetic properties of epitaxial FePt thin films
In this work Ag underlayers, with a slightly larger unit cell than FePt, were found not only to induce epitaxial growth of the FePt films but also to reduce the FePt ordering temperature. Without using the Ag underlayer, the FePt film deposited onto the Si substrate was fcc disordered. By the use of the Ag underlayer, it was observed that the FePt unit cells were expanded in the film plane. Thi...
