摘要
We fabricated exchange-coupled composite films with perpendicular anisotropy using nanograins of L1(0) FePt as a magnetically hard base layer and FePt : SiO2 as a relatively soft phase. The degree of anisotropy and nanostructure in the soft layer was controlled by varying the deposition temperature. Growth of the low-anisotropy layer followed the particulate structure of the base layer at deposition temperatures of 390 degrees C or greater. Perpendicular coercivities were strongly dependent on both the anisotropy and thickness of the softer layer.
