Abstract

In order to characterize intergranular magnetic coupling in (Co₈₆Cr₁₂Ta₂)_100-xPt_x (x = 0 and 9) and (Co_62.5Ni₃₀Cr_7.5)_100-xPt_x (x = 0 and 14) thin-film recording media, the temperature dependence of the rotational hysteresis loss has been examined. In all media, the coercive force H_c(T) gradually decreases to about half the value attained at 25°C by increasing the measuring temperature T to about 300°C without a change in the microstructure. In CoNiCr, CoNiCrPt and CoCrTaPt media, the decrease in H_c(T) with increasing T corresponds directly to the decrease in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy field of the grains, H_k^grain. In contrast, in CoCrTa media. H_c(T)/H_k^grain(T) gradually decreases with increasing T. This decrease in H_c(T)/H_k^grain(T) is suggested to be caused mainly by the increase in 4πM_s(T)/H_k^grain(T). This means that the intergranular magnetostatic coupling strongly affects the magnetic properties of the CoCrTa media examined here due to the low intergranular exchange coupling.
