The influence of the Pt buffer layer on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial FePd(001) ordered alloys grown by sputtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-crystalline FePd~001! 1000-Å-thick films were grown at 500 °C by codeposition in an UHV sputtering system. It is found that both the crystalline structure and therefore the magnetic properties strongly depend on the Pt buffer layer thickness. The films grown on Pt~100! layers 50 Å thick and thinner do not exhibit clear chemical order and show in-plane magnetic anisotropy. FePd grown on thicker Pt buffers adopts a fct structure accompanied by a strong chemical ordering, leading to a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~97!49308-8#

Domain-wall scattering in epitaxial FePd ordered alloy films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
Domain-wall scattering in a FePd-ordered alloy film with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been investigated using magnetoresistance measurements on a whole hysteresis loop and as a function of temperature. A strong correlation between the hysteretic behavior of the resistivity due to domain walls and the magnetization process is found. The data are well described by a spin-dependent...

We find that the use of V 100 buffer layers on MgO 001 substrates for the epitaxy of FePd binary alloys yields to the formation at intermediate and high deposition temperatures of a FePd–FeV mixed phase due to strong V diffusion accompanied by a loss of layer continuity and strong increase of its mosaic spread. Contrary to what is usually found in this kind of systems, these mixed phase structu...

The onset of chemical order L10 phase and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in FePd 001 thin films sputtered on MgO 001 at temperatures from room temperature to 700 °C and thickness between 1.4 and 22 nm are investigated. It is found that the formation of the FePd ordered phase exhibiting high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy L10 phase with the c axis in the growth direction is affected by a t...
متن کاملMagneto-optical spectra of long range chemically ordered FePd(001) alloy films
The occurrence of chemical ordering can have a dramatic influence on structural, electronic, and magnetic properties in many materials systems. Examples of recent interest are binary metallic alloy systems such as CoPt, FePt, and FeAu, where strong interdependencies between magnetic and magneto-optical properties and the degree of long range chemical ordering have been observed. Near the equiat...
