  • The magnetic properties and ordering behavior of Nb-doped FePt alloy films prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering were investigated. It was found that Nb addition retarded the ordering reaction from the disordered face-centered-cubic (fcc) Al phase to the ordered face-centered-tetragonal (fct) L10 phase. The tetragonality (c/a ratio) of the ordered fct L10 phase increased with the Nb concentration. Nb addition hampered c-axis contraction during ordering, probably because the larger Nb atoms occupy Pt sites. Consequently, the coercivity and magnetocrystalline anisotropic energy of Nb-doped FePt alloy films are lower than those of un-doped FePt film under equivalent annealing conditions.

  • Magnetic properties and crystal structures of (Fe1-XCoX) Pt (X = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) ternary thin films were investigated. The order-disorder phase transformation of FePt thin films during annealing was also studied by x-ray diffraction and M ssbauer spectroscopy. The magnetic thin films were deposited on glass substrates using a dc sputtering method and were subsequently annealed at 400~$700^{\circ}C$ in a high vacuum. The as-deposited films exhibited a high degree of the <111> preferred orientation and the preferred orientation was not destroyed even after the subsequent post annealing. The coercivity of the ($Fe_xCo_{1-x}$) Pt thin films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ showed a minimum value at the equiatomic composition of the Fe and Co atoms. The ordered structure of the FePt alloy was thought to have formed from the disordered structure by an inhomogeneous process, which was confirmed by the asymmetric peak shapes and M ssbauer spectra.

  • $Cr_{100-x}Ti_x$ amorphous texture-inducing layers (TIL) were investigated to realize highly (002) oriented $L1_0$ FePt-C granular films through hetero-epitaxial growth on the (002) textured bcc-$Cr_{80}Mn_{20}$ seed layer (bcc-SL). As-deposited TILs showed the amorphous phase in Ti content of $30{\leq}x(at%){\leq}75$. Particularly, films with $40{\leq}x{\leq}60$ kept the amorphous phase against the heat treatment over $600^{\circ}C$. It was found that preference of the crystallographic texture for bcc-SLs is directly affected by the structural phase of TILs. (002) crystallographic texture was realized in bcc-SLs deposited on the amorphous TILs ($40{\leq}x{\leq}70$), whereas (110) texture was formed in bcc-SLs overlying on crystalline TILs (x < 30 and x > 70). Correlation between the angular distribution of (002) crystal orientation of bcc-SL evaluated by full width at half maximum of (002) diffraction (FWHM) and a grain diameter of bcc-SL indicated that while the development of the lateral growth for bcc-SL grain reduces FWHM, crystallization of amorphous TILs hinders FWHM. $L1_0$ FePt-C granular films were fabricated under the substrate heating process over $600^{\circ}C$ with having different FWHM of bcc-SL. Hysteresis loops showed that squareness ($M_r/M_s$) of the films increased from 0.87 to 0.95 when FWHM of bcc-SL decreased from $13.7^{\circ}$ to $3.8^{\circ}$. It is suggested that the reduction of (002) FWHM affects to the overlying MgO film as well as FePt-C granular film by means of the hetero-epitaxial growth.

  • Mn1-xCrxPt3 합금 박막을 유리기판상에 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 전이금속(Mn, Cr)과 Pt층을 적층하여 증착한우 열처리함으로써 제조하였다. 제조한 박막들의 소각 및 광각 x-선 회절 분석, 자기 히스테리시스 루우프, 커 스펙트럼을 실온에서 조사했다. 제조한 박막들은 (111)면이 막면에 평행으로 강하게 우선 배향된 AuCu3 형의 규칙합금 구조를 나타냈다. 포화자화는 Cr 치환량(x)이 증가함에 따라 감소하다가 x=0.58 부근에서 영에 가까워진 후 다시 증가하여 x=0.77 이상에서는 거의 일정한 값을 나타냇다. 이것은 페로자성인 MnPt3(x=0)에 Cr을 치환하며, Cr의 자기모멘트가 Mn과 반강자성적으로 결합하여포화자화가 감소하다가 Cr 치환량이 더욱 증가하면 Cr의 기여가 지배적이 되어 다시 증가하기 때문으로 생각된다. MnPt3의 경우에는 자화용이축이 막면에 평행이었으며, Cr 치환량이 증가합에 따라 수직자기이방성이 증가하여 x=0.58 이상에서는 수직자화막이 얻어졌다. 또한, 이 영역에서 Cr 치환량이 증가함에 따라 보자력도 증가하여 x=0.58 이상에서는 수직자화막이 얻어졌다. 또한, 이 영역에서 Cr 치환량이 증가함에 따라 보자력도 증가하여 CrPt3의 경우에는 약 4 kOe의 큰 값을 나타냈다. Cr 치환량에 따른 커 회전각의 변화 추이는 포화지화의 변화 추이와 경향이 유사했다. x=0.77과 x=1의 경우에는 근적외선 영역에서의 커 회전각이 기존의 광자기기록매체인 TbFeCo를 능가했다.

  • Equiatomic FePt and CoPt alloy thin films have received considerable attention as possible magnetic and magneto-optic recording because of their high magnetic anisotropy energy and high coercivity. The high coercivity in these thin films is due to the presence of finely dispersed ordered FePt phase mixed with disordered FePt phase. However, a high temperature treatment, either substrate heating during deposition or post annealing, is needed to obtain the ordered L1$\_$0/ phase with high value of magneto crystalline anisotropy. Recent microstructural studies on these films suggest that the average grain size ranges from 10-50 nm and the grains are magnetically coupled between each other. On the other hand, the ultrahigh-density magnetic recording media with low media noise imposes the need of a material, which consists of magnetically isolated grains with size below 10 nm. The magnetic grain isolation can be controlled by the amount of additional non-magnetic element in the system which determines the interparticle separation and therefore the interparticle interactions. Recently, much research work has been done on various non-magnetic matrices. Preliminary studies showed that the samples prepared in B$_2$O$_3$ and Carbon matrices have shown strong perpendicular anisotropy and fine grain size down to 4nm, which suggest these nanocomposite films are very promising and may lead to the realization of a magnetic medium capable of recording densities beyond 1 Tb/in$^2$. So, in this work, the effect of Carbon doping on the magnetic properties of FePt nanoparticles were investigated.

  • $CrPt_3$ 합금은 큰 Kerr 효과를 보여 주는 강한 자기결정 이방성을 가지고 있고 흥미롭게도 훈트 제3법칙을 따르지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 $CrPt_3$ 합금 박막의 두께의 따른 자성과 자기결정 이방성의 변화를 제일원리계산 방법을 이용하여 연구하였다. 기준 자료로 활용하기 위해 덩치 $CrPt_3$의 다양한 자성 상태, 즉 강자성(FM), A-, C-, G-type 반강자성(A-, C-, G-AF)에 대한 계산을 우선 수행하였는데 덩치 $CrPt_3$은 FM 상태가 안정하였고 이는 실험과 일치하였다. A-, C-, G-AF 상태가 FM 상태일 때 보다 총에너지가 각각 0.517, 0.591, 0.183 eV 만큼 높았고 Cr의 자기모멘트는 FM, A-, C-, G-AF 일 때 각각 2.782, 2.805, 2.794, $2.869_{{\mu}_B}$으로 확인되었다. $CrPt_3$(001) 박막의 표면은 CrPt 표면과 Pt 표면으로 두 종류의 원소 구성을 가질 수 있다. 각각의 표면에 대해 3층에서 9층까지 두께를 변화시켜 가면서 계산을 수행하였다. CrPt 표면의 3층 박막은 덩치와는 다르게 C-AF 상태가 FM 상태에 비해 8 meV 안정하였고 그 보다 두꺼운 5층, 7층, 9층 박막은 덩치처럼 FM 상태가 안정하였다. Pt 표면의 3층 박막은 C-AF 상태가 FM 상태에 비해 37 meV, 5층 박막은 G-AF이 FM 상태에 비해 54 meV 만큼 안정하였고 그 보다 두꺼운 7, 9층 박막은 덩치와 같이 FM 상태가 더 안정하였다.
