Abstract
FePt B4 C multilayer composite films have been prepared by magnetron sputtering and subsequent annealing in vacuum. It was found that the B4 C layers effectively serve as spacers to separate the FePt layers, enhancing (001) orientation of FePt alloy. Our results show that highly (001) oriented [Fe45 Pt55 (8 nm) B4 C (4 nm)] 3 film with satisfactory perpendicular coercivity (4.75 kOe) has significant potential as a perpendicular recording medium. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
