TLDR
In this article, the long-range order parameter S of sputtered FePt (001) films may be improved by using postgrowth He ion irradiation, which was demonstrated both on disordered and partially ordered (S∼0.4) films in which S was increased up to 0.3 and 0.6 respectively.
Abstract
We demonstrate that the long-range order parameter S of sputtered FePt (001) films may be improved by using postgrowth He ion irradiation. This was demonstrated both on disordered (S∼0) and partially ordered (S∼0.4) films in which S was increased up to 0.3 and 0.6, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that these changes are due to irradiation-induced chemical ordering. The changes in the magnetic hysteresis loops correlate with the expected perpendicular magnetic anisotropy increase. This method may find applications in ultrahigh-density magnetic recording.
