Abstract

Multilayer Fe/Pt films with atomic ratios FexPt100-x (x=36∼58) were deposited directly onto quartz glass substrates at room temperature through magnetron sputtering. Post-annealing from 300 °C to 600 °C was carried out to investigate the effect of varied compositions on the L10 ordering process. The result, which is different from that of co-sputtering growth, shows an obvious promotion of the phase transformation for slightly Pt-rich off-stoichiometric compositions with x between 40 and 50. The in-plane coercivity of Fe48Pt52 can reach 4.1 kOe even after annealing at 300 °C. This facilitated atomic diffusion and ordering might be related to the lattice expansion due to excessive Pt content.
