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 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...
متن کاملModulation of preferred orientation and easy axis of magnetic anisotropy in L10 FePt films with Cu buffer layers
The crystallographic orientation and easy axis of magnetic anisotropy in L10 FePt films were successfully modulated with Cu buffer layers. The FePt film directly grown on the Cr90Mo10 underlayer showed a (001) preferred orientation with out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy. As the Cu buffer layer thickness was z4 nm, the FePt films showed a (110) preferred orientation with in-plane magnetic anisotr...
متن کاملAtomic Ordering and Coercivity Mechanism in FePt and CoPt Polycrystalline Thin Films
40 nm thick CoPt and FePt films were prepared on oxidized Si substrates with 10 nm MgO underlayers. The maximum coercivity ( ) for CoPt films was found to be 10 kOe after annealing at 700 C for 20–30 minutes (min). Structural analysis showed a significant amount of FCC phase as well as the ordered L10 phase in these films. FePt films showed an abrupt increase of ordered volume fraction and in t...
متن کاملL10 FePt films epitaxially grown on MgO substrates with or without a Cr underlayer
FePt and FePt/Cr films were epitaxially grown on MgO (2 0 0) substrates at 350 1C by DC magnetron sputtering. The structural properties and epitaxial relationship are investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD spectra revealed that both FePt and FePt/Cr films had a (0 0 1) preferred orientation. However, FePt films with Cr underlayers had a larger a and a smaller c than th...
