Perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy in tetragonally distorted Fe-Co alloys.

چکیده
We report on the experimental realization of tetragonal Fe-Co alloys as a constituent of Fe0.36Co0.64/Pt superlattices with huge perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy, reaching 210 microeV/atom, and a saturation magnetization of 2.5 microB/atom at 40 K, in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. At room temperature the corresponding values and are achieved. This suggests that Fe-Co alloys with carefully chosen combinations of composition and distortion are good candidates for high-density perpendicular storage materials.

Anisotropy of Doped Transition-Metal Magnets
Calculations of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy are used to evaluate prospects for new lanthanide-free permanent magnets. Based on the requirement of transition-metal-rich phases, we investigate interstitial impurities in tetragonally distorted bcc Fe and sub stitutional impurities in hcp Co, and compare doped bulk materials with nanostructures, especially with elemental 3d and YCo5 nanoparti...
متن کاملAnisotropic Thermal Expansion and Cooperative Invar/Anti-Invar Effects in MnNi Alloy
T. Yokoyama 2 and K. Eguchi (IMS, The Grad. Univ. for Adv. Stud.) Thermal expansion of a tetragonal Mn88Ni12 alloy, which exhibits significant anisotropy, was investigated by EXAFS and path-integral quantum mechanical simulations. The EXAFS reveals that the Mn local environment is actually tetragonally distorted, while the Ni one retains its inherent cubic-like symmetry. The large thermal expan...
متن کاملMagnetism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy of 3dtransition metal monolayers on Pt(001): a density-functional study.
We systematically investigate the effects of having Pt as a substrate and/or capping layer on the magnetism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of 3d transition metal (TMs; Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) monolayers (MLs) by using a first-principles calculationl method. We found that Fe and Co MLs are ferromagnetic (FM) on a Pt(001) surface, but Mn and Cr MLs are antiferromagnetic (AFM). The magnetic m...

This study investigated the magnetic domain walls in a single-layer soft magnetic film with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. The soft magnetic film is composed of a highly c-axis-oriented hcp-Co81Ir19 alloy with strong negative magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The domain structure of the soft Co81Ir19 films with thickness ranging from 50-230 nm in a demagnetization state was observed ...
متن کاملPerpendicular magnetic anisotropy induced by tetragonal distortion of FeCo alloy films grown on Pd(001).
We grew tetragonally distorted FexCo1-x alloy films on Pd(001). Theoretical first-principles calculations for such films predicted a high saturation magnetization and a high uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy for specific values of the lattice distortion c/a and the alloy composition x. The magnetic anisotropy was investigated using the magneto-optical Kerr effect. An out-of-plane easy axis of...
