Enhanced Chemical Ordering and Coercivity in FePt Alloy Nanoparticles by Sb-Doping

Sb doping stabilizes the chemically ordered tetragonal L10 structure in FePt alloy nanoparticles, yielding higher coercivities (Hc) at lower annealing temperatures (see Figure) than previously reported. Upon annealing to ∼ 300 °C, nanoparticles yield coercivities more than ten times those previously...

Zusammenfassung:Sb doping stabilizes the chemically ordered tetragonal L10 structure in FePt alloy nanoparticles, yielding higher coercivities (Hc) at lower annealing temperatures (see Figure) than previously reported. Upon annealing to ∼ 300 °C, nanoparticles yield coercivities more than ten times those previously reported for FePt nanoparticles of similar sizes annealed to the same temperature. These findings are of importance for ultrahigh‐density memory device applications.
