Effect of multilayer configuration of [Fe/Pt] multilayer to attain (001) oriented FePt ordered alloy thin films

L 1 0 -FePt ordered alloy thin films with (001) preferential orientation were fabricated from [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 3 /Pt(3 nm)/Fe(3 nm) multilayers to reduce the ordering temperature. Pt(3 nm)/Fe(3 nm) layer beneath the [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 3 multilayer played a role as a s...

Zusammenfassung:L 1 0 -FePt ordered alloy thin films with (001) preferential orientation were fabricated from [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 3 /Pt(3 nm)/Fe(3 nm) multilayers to reduce the ordering temperature. Pt(3 nm)/Fe(3 nm) layer beneath the [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 3 multilayer played a role as a seed layer to attain perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. These films, after being annealed at 500 ° C under hydrogen atmosphere, exhibited better growth characters of FePt(001) oriented crystallites than those of FePt prepared from [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 6 . Additionally, [ Pt ( 1   nm ) / Fe ( 1   nm ) ] 3 /Pt(3 nm)/Fe(3 nm) multilayers, after being annealed at 500 ° C , showed high value of saturation magnetization around 12 kG.
