The influence of thickness on magnetic interaction and magnetic properties in electrodeposited CoPt magnetic films was investigated from the analysis of the magnetic remanence curves and the magnetic hysteresis loops. As the thickness of the CoPt film is increased, the perpendicular coercivity and the saturation magnetization are increased but the squareness is considerably decreased. The analysis results of the magnetic remanence curves and the magnetic hysteresis loops exhibited that the dipolar interaction is the main interaction mechanism for all samples, but the strength of the dipolar interaction gradually increased with increasing sample thickness.

The magnetic interaction effect on the magnetic activation volume and area of electrodeposited CoPt magnetic films was investigated. The dipolar interaction was predominant interaction mechanism for all samples. And the interaction strength was increased with decreasing current density and increased with increasing sample thickness. Although the activation volumes of the samples fabricated at low current density were larger than those of the high current density samples, the sample thickness seemed to have little influence on the variation of activation volume. But it was found that the activation area was apparently affected by the magnetic interaction strength as well as the current density.

The thickness dependence of the magnetic switching volumes in electrodeposited CoPt films was investigated from the magnetization reversal and the magnetic interaction behavior. As the sample thickness is increased, the field difference between the wall pinning field ($H_{DW}$) and the nucleation field ($H_N$) as well as the absolute value of ${\Delta}$area are increased. Therefore, the decrement tendency of the switching diameter with increasing sample thickness can be well explained by the domain wall motion controlled by the domain wall pinning and the strength of dipolar interaction.

최근에 있어서 광자기기록 재료의 연구개발은 실용화 단계에 이른 비정질 RE-TM막을 중심으로 하여 내식성, 보호막, 기판재료, 양산기술 향상 등에 촛점이 맞추어져 있다. 한편 장래의 문제로서 일층 고성능화와 보다 생산성이 놓은 재료의 개발이 기대되고 있다. 고성능화를 위해서는 반도체 레이저의 고출력, 단파장화가 가장 효과적이라고 생각되나 이에 맞는 기록재료의 개발연구도 병행되어 져야한다. 기존의 반도체 레이저 범위안에서는 RE-rich의 막을 기록층으로 하고 적당한 재생층을 갖는 2층 막으로 부터 밀도 및 속도의 양면에서 최고의 성능이 얻어지고 있다. 장래 단파장 반도체 레이저가 개발된다면 경희토류를 이용한 막에서 고성능화가 아루어질 것으로 보이며 또한 Pb/Co, Pt/Co등 자성다층막이 RE-TM 재료의 단점을 보완하고 한층 더 고밀도화를 이룩할 수 있는 차세대 광자기기록 재료로 기대를 모으고 있다.

Magnetic and crystallographic properties of patterned media fabricated by nanoimprint lithography and Co-Pt electroplating were studied. Thin films of Ru(20 nm)/Ta(5 nm)/$SiO_2$(100 nm) were deposited on Si(100) wafer and then 25 nm hole pattern was fabricated by nanoimprint lithography on substrate. The electroplated Co-Pt nano-dots have the diameter of 35 nm and the height of 27 nm. Magnetic dot patterns of Co-Pt alloy were created using electroplated Co-Pt alloy and then their properties were measured by MFM, SQUID, SEM, TEM and AFM. We observed single domain with perendicular anisotropy for each dot and achieved optimum coercivity of 2900 Oe. These results mean that patterned media fabricated by nanoimprint lithography and electroplating have good properties in view of extending superparamagnetic limit while satisfying the writability requirements with the present write heads.
