摘要
A new preparation method of ordered Fe-Pt thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was studied. Low-temperature ordering phenomenon was found at high Ar sputter-gas pressures. Extremely large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was obtained for a thin film using a glass substrate. Extending the method, further improvements of the Fe-Pt film have been made in terms of domain size. A very fine domain pattern was successfully observed, suggesting that the new Fe-Pt film will be expected to be a future ultrahigh density recording medium. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
