摘要
We have investigated the A1-->L1(0) ordering process of FePt granular films with different particle sizes. Although FePt particles larger than similar to7 nm ordered by annealing at 600degreesC, the ordering did not proceed when the particle size was smaller than similar to4 nm in diameter. This suggests that there is a size dependence on the ordering of FePt particles. Calculation of the Helmholtz free energy using the Lennard-Jones potential suggested that T-c decreases below the annealing temperature when the particle size is decreased to a few nanometers suggesting that experimental observation is physically feasible.
