Abstract
The microstructure and the room-temperature hysteretic magnetic properties of sputtered, 10 nm thin films of equiatomic binary alloys of CoPt and FePt were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. A transformation from an atomically disordered, face-centered-cubic structure to the L10 ordered structure occurred during postdeposition annealing and was characterized using digital analysis of dark-field TEM images. The transformation was observed to follow first-order nucleation and growth kinetics, and the ordered volume fraction transformed was quantified at numerous points during the transformation. The ordered volume fraction was then compared to the magnetic coercivity data obtained from the SQUID magnetometer. In contrast to the relationship most commonly described in the literature, that the highest coercivity corresponds to a two phase ordered/disordered mixture, the maximum value for coercivity in this study wa...

Monodisperse FePt Nanoparticles and Ferromagnetic FePt Nanocrystal Superlattices

TL;DR: Thermal annealing converts the internal particle structure from a chemically disordered face- centered cubic phase to the chemically ordered face-centered tetragonal phase and transforms the nanoparticle superlattices into ferromagnetic nanocrystal assemblies that can support high-density magnetization reversal transitions.

Magnetic properties and structure of cobalt-platinum thin films

TL;DR: The magnetic properties of RF sputtered Co-Pt alloy thin films were studied as a function of Pt content from 0 to 80 at%. At room temperature, ferromagnetic films were obtained in the range 0-32 and 40-80 at% Pt; discontinuities in the magnetization, magnetostriction and coercivity versus Pt content were observed; however no discontinuity was observed in the resistivity as mentioned in this paper.
