Abstract

Multi-layer films of MgO₂₀ _nm/(FePt-B _x)₅₀ _nm/MgO₂₀ _nm were deposited on Si (100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The B content (x) of the thin films was found to be about 5 and 33 at.% by using wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDX). In the (FePt)_0.67B_0.33 film an excess of B in the FePt film led to an amorphous structure in the as-deposited film, which changed to an ordered cubic structure on annealing. However, the (FePt)_0.95B_0.05 film started to show a phase transformation from the disordered fee structure to the ordered L10 phase with an fct structure at 350 °C and was remarkably transformed to a L10 structure at about 500 °C on post-annealing. The maximum coercivities (H_c) of the (FePt)_0.95B_0.05 and the (FePt) _0.67B_0.33 films were found to be ∼9.1 and 2.9 kOe after annealing at 600 °C for 1 hr, respectively.
