Substrate-Deposition-Teiimperatijre Dependence of Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in (Fe/Pt) Compositionally-Modulated Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
A systematic study on magnetic properties of (Fc/Pt) compositionally-modulated films as a function of substrate-deposition-temperature has been carried out. For films with (2.5ÅFe/18ÅPt)×40, the intrinsic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku is found to increase with decreasing temperature for all the sarmples deposited at temperatures from -114 °C to 220°C during deposition. The higher the substrate-deposition-temperature, the larger the Ku values become. This result implies a possible contribution from the magne to-elastic effect to the total anisotropy. However, a major part responsible for the perpendicular anisotropy may be found in other mechanisms. The saturation magnetization is found to exceed the value for pure Fe at temperatures lower than 180K.
