▪ Abstract Areal density progress in magnetic recording is largely determined by the ability to
fabricate low-noise, granular thin lm media with sufficient stability against thermal agitation …

High K/sub u/, uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, materials are generally attractive for
ultrahigh density magnetic recording applications as they allow smaller, thermally stable …

In current longitudinal magnetic recording media, high areal density and low noise are
achieved by statistical averaging over several hundred weakly coupled ferromagnetic grains …

Symmetry breaking and bonding at interfaces leads to a variety of anisotropy phenomena in
transition metal sandwiches and multilayers. The charge density, the spin density and the …

The magnetic domain structure and magnetization curves of chemically ordered epitaxial
FePt (001) films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are discussed. Films were dc …

The magnetization processes of highly ordered FePt (001) films with large perpendicular
magnetic anisotropy have been studied. The film morphology was controlled from isolated …

L10 ordered FePt alloy films with large magnetic anisotropy have been successfully
prepared by alternating Fe001 and Pt001 monatomic layers on MgO 001 substrates at low …

Microstructure and magnetization processes of highly ordered FePt (001) films with large
perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been studied. The film morphology was controlled …

Equiatomic CoPt and FePt alloy films were deposited by cosputtering at substrate
temperatures between 25 and 640° C. Those deposited at high temperatures (≥ 400 and≥ …

We report results on highly oriented, face-centered tetragonal ordered CoPt and FePt thin
films grown nonepitaxially by directly depositing films on thermally oxidized Si substrates …
