摘要
40 nm thick CoPt and FePt films were prepared on oxidized Si substrates with 10 nm MgO underlayers. The maximum coercivity (H-c) for CoPt films was found to be similar to 10 kOe after annealing at 700 degreesC for similar to 20-30 minutes (min). Structural analysis showed a significant amount of FCC phase as well as the ordered L1(0) phase in these films. FePt films showed an abrupt increase of ordered volume fraction and H-c in the initial stage of annealing and predominance of the tetragonal L1(0) phase after 10 min. at 700 degreesC. The maximum H-c reached similar to 16 kOe after annealing at 700 degreesC for more than 20 minutes. Dark field (DF) images of the annealed CoPt films showed individual grains which exhibited a possibility of several variants or disordered phase with dimensions similar to the exchange correlation length, b(cm). The temperature dependence of H-c seems to indicate a weak pinning mechanism in the highly ordered FePt films. Magnetic force microscopy indicated a complex domain structure consisting of clusters with dimensions of several hundred nanometers.
