Abstract

The effect of in-plane lattice matching on the magnetic and read/write properties has been quantitatively studied in CoCr₂₄Pt₁₂B₄ or CoCr₂₀Pt₈Ta₄ media grown on Cr, CrMo₂₀ and CrMo₂₀/Cr underlayer. It is found that by using CrMo₂₀ (5 nm)/Cr (5 nm) dual underlayer, significant improvement of magnetic and R/W properties are realized. It is clarified that: (1) the utilization of CrMo/Cr dual underlayer increases H_C mainly due to the improvement of in-plane crystallographic orientation; (2) the lattice misfit has small effect on the improvement of in-plane crystallographic orientation. The improvement of in-plane crystallographic orientation by using CrX/Cr dual underlayer is suggested to be due to lattice strain at the interface of Cr and CrX underlayer, which enhances the grain growth of the magnetic layer.
