摘要
FePt-C films with various C concentrations were deposited on MgO/CrRu/glass substrate by cosputtering FePt and C at 350 degrees C. The evolution of magnetic properties and microstructure of FePt-C films with the C concentration were investigated. All FePt films showed (001) preferred orientation regardless of C concentrations. With C doping, a two-layer structure of FePt-C films was formed. The FePt-C underlying layer epitaxially grown on MgO intermediate layer were L1(0) FePt grains, while the FePt overlayer consisted of fcc FePt phase and L1(0) FePt phase. The out-of-plane coercivity measured at room temperature increased from 10.2 to 19 kOe when C concentrations increased from 0% to 15%. Further increasing the C contents to 20% and 25% caused the decrease of coercivity to 17.2 and 14.8 kOe, respectively. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
