摘要
Co-rich CoPt and CoPtP alloy thin films were obtained by electrodeposition. Addition of a P compound to the electrolyte for CoPt deposition induces P codeposition and improves film hard magnetic properties, reaching coercive forces up to 5500 Oe, with S* = 0.7. To understand the effect of P compound addition, a macroscopic characterization of intergrain interactions in CoPt and CoPtP films of similar composition and structure has been made by the delta M method, using longitudinal Kerr effect as magnetization probe. delta M curves reveal exchange coupling in CoPt films, while CoPtP films show mainly magnetostatic interactions. The creation of single-domain grains with nonmagnetic boundaries is proposed as an explanation for the inhibition of exchange interactions in CoPtP films.
