Pt/Co multilayers displaying perpendicular (out-of-plane) magnetic anisotropy and 100% perpendicular remanent magnetization are strong candidates as magnetic media for the next generation of magneto-optic recording devices. The magnetic coercivity, Hc, and uniaxial anisotropy energy, Ku, are two important materials parameters, among others, in the quest to achieving higher recording densities with acceptable signal to noise ratios (SNR). The relationship between Ku and Hc in these films is not a simple one since features such as grain boundaries, for example, can have a strong influence on Hc but affect Ku only in a secondary manner. In this regard grain boundary separation provides a way to minimize the grain-to-grain magnetic coupling which is known to result in larger coercivities and improved SNR as has been discussed extensively in the literature for conventional longitudinal recording media.We present here results from the deposition of two Pt/Co/Tb multilayers (A and B) which show significant differences in their coercive fields.

Abstract A method is described to measure catecholamine sulfates from human plasma and urine by isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. For this measurement we use catecholamine 3-sulfate isomers as internal standards and determine the sulfoconjugates only after eliminating the catecholamines. Catecholamines that have previously been used as internal standards are shown to cause a significant overestimation (P less than 0.05) of the catecholamine sulfates--by 10% to 25% and 20% to 42% in human plasma and urine, respectively. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio greater than 3) in plasma and urine samples were about 80 pmol/L for each analyte. The intra-assay and interassay CVs were less than 4.0% and 10.6% in human plasma and less than 6.6% and 12.8% in human urine, respectively. The calibration curves for all catecholamine sulfates in human plasma and urine were linear (r greater than 0.96; P less than 0.001) over the respective concentration ranges of 0.1-100 nmol/L and 5-1000 nmol/L.
