摘要：

CoPt thin films with a thickness of 50 nm were deposited on MgO(111) substrates by magnetron-sputtering at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 750 degrees C. A unique phase evolution of A] (disordered) -> L1(1) -> Al -> L1(0) was clearly identified by performing theta-2 theta scans at different psi angles using a Huber goniometer. The L1(1) CoPt phase with perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be developed at 250 degrees C, thus making it a promising material for future ultra-high-density magnetic recording media.
