摘要：

This paper reports the effects of surfactant Bi atomic diffusion on the microstructure evolution and resulted property manipulation in FePt spintronic films by the quantitative studies of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and positron annihilation spectroscopy. The defect density in the FePt layer, which was tunable by varying the thermal treatment temperatures, was found to be remarkably enhanced correlated with the Bi atomic diffusion behavior. The observed defect density evolution substantially favors Fe(Pt) atomic migrations and lowers the energy barrier for atomic ordering transition, resulting in a great improvement of hard magnet property of the films.
