摘要
In order to diminish coalescence and interparticle sintering during high-temperature annealing of Fe-Pt nanoparticle films above 700 K, carbon or hafnium oxide overcoats are deposited on the nanoparticle-monolayer films. TEM observations reveal that grains in the Fe-Pt nanoparticle-monolayers are kept to be 4 mn in size even after annealing at 873 K; the particle size is close to the crystallite size estimated using Scherrer's formula as 4 nm from x-ray diffraction. In-plane coercivity of the monolayer films at room temperature is 4 kOe and much higher than that without any overcoats. Furthermore, the hafnium-oxide coated monolayer-film shows a high magnetocrystalline anisotropy (K-u = 4 x 10(7) erg/cm(3)) and a high Ku V/kT value of 39.2 at 300 K, indicating the, Fe-Pt nanoparticle-monolayers have high thermal stability as magnetic recording media.
