“…Studies of the correlations between crystallographic as well as morphological structure and magnetic coercivity of CoPt and FePt alloy films have been of considerable interest in recent years due to the strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and chemical inertness of these alloys which make them suitable for high density recording applications 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 . The key structural feature responsible for magnetic anisotropy of these systems is the ordering of Pt and Co or Fe atoms in the crystal lattice.…”
