摘要
A range of CoCrPt thin film discs sputtered an CrV underlayers have been prepared under varying base pressures, A general improvement in H-c squareness S* and recording performance determined by the media SNR was seen when the base pressure was reduced. Electron diffraction studies have clearly shown that a significant proportion of fee grains are induced when a high base pressure is allowed to remain in the chamber and this is consistent with the presence of residual nitrogen gas in the system.
