摘要
By annealing the multilayer film with a stack structure of MgO 10 nm/Ag 20 nm/[FePt x nm/Ag 5 nm](5) at 550degreesC for 1 h, (001)-oriented L1(0) FePt nanograins with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are obtained on an amorphous substrate. The 20-nm Ag underlayer plays an important role in improving (001) texture of FePt and decreasing the fct FePt ordering temperature. The switching volume and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy constant K-u of FePt-Ag composite films with a controllable FePt grain size are obtained by fitting the coercivity dependence on magnetic field sweeping rate employing coherent rotation model, taking into account the easy axis distribution.
