摘要
We show how, combining He ion irradiation and thermal mobility below 600 K, the transformation from chemical disorder to order in thin films of an intermetallic ferromagnet (FePd) may be triggered and controlled. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations show that the initial directional short range order determines the transformation. Magnetic ordering perpendicular to the film plane was achieved, promoting the initially weak magnetic anisotropy to the highest values known for FePd films. Applications to ultrahigh density magnetic recording are suggested.
