Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in FePt Patterned Media Employing a CrV Seed Layer

Abstract: A thin FePt film was deposited onto a CrV seed layer at 400°C and showed a high coercivity (~3,400 Oe) and high magnetization (900–1,000 emu/cm3) characteristic of L10 phase. However, the magnetic properties of patterned media fabricated from the film stack were degraded due to the Ar-ion bombardment. We employed a deposition-last process, in which FePt film deposited at room temperature underwent lift-off and post-annealing processes, to avoid the exposure of FePt to Ar plasma. A patterned medium with 100-nm … Show more

“…It is interesting to note that H c is larger for smaller particles, suggesting that surface anisotropy plays a major role, as it is greater for particles with a smaller magnetic core. This assumption is based on the already observed anisotropy enhancement of Fe atoms at the Fe/Pt interface, due to high Pt spin–orbit coupling and to symmetry breaking at the interface. , Note that even pure Pt NPs may exhibit ferromagnetism. , However, spontaneous Pt magnetization, if it exists in these NPs, may be disregarded, as its amplitude is orders of magnitude lower than that of spontaneous Fe x O y magnetization.…”

“…As the easy magnetization axis of the L1 0 crystal is parallel to the c axis, a (001) orientation is mandatory for practical device applications requiring perpendicular magnetic anistropy. Despite the large lattice misfit of about 9%, MgO(001) substrates [8,9] or seed layers [10][11][12] are commonly employed for epitaxial growth of L1 0 FePt(001). Typically, for film deposition, a substrate temperature higher than 500 • C is required to promote L1 0 order, while lower temperatures result in the chemically disordered fcc (A1) structure.…”
