Fe100-xPtx single-layered films with Pt contents (x) = 32~69 at.% were deposited on natural-oxidized Si(100) substrate by dc magnetron sputtering. Then the films were post-annealed at 700 °C for 3 min by a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) with a high heating ramp rate of 100 °C/sec. Experimental results show that FePt film presented (111) preferred orientation and tended to in-plane magnetic anisotropy as the content of Pt was 32 at.%. When the Pt content was increased to 55 at.%, (001)-textured FePt film was obtained and presented perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Its out-of-plane coercivity (Hc⊥), saturation magnetization (Ms) and out-of-plane squareness (S⊥) reached to 12.7 kOe, 375 emu/cm3 and 0.8, respectively. These results reveal its significant potential as perpendicular magnetic recording media for high-density recording. Further increasing the Pt content to 69 at.%, the coercivity of FePt film was decreased drastically to below 1 kOe and tended towards in-plane magnetic anisotropy.

There is currently great interest in magnetic multilayer (ML) thin films (see e.g.), because they display some interesting magnetic properties. Co/Pd and Co/Au ML systems exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy below certain Co layer thicknesses, which makes them candidates for applications in the field of magneto-optical recording. It has been found that the magnetic anisotropy of a particular system strongly depends on the preparation method (vapour deposition, sputtering, ion beam sputtering) as well as on the substrate, underlayer and deposition temperature. In order to get a better understanding of the correlation between microstructure and properties a thorough cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) study of vapour deposited Co/Pd and Co/Au (111) MLs was undertaken (for more detailed results see ref.).The Co/Pd films (with fixed Pd thickness of 2.2 nm) were deposited on mica substrates at substrate temperatures Ts of 20°C and 200°C, after prior deposition of a 100 nm Pd underlayer at 450°C.
