CoPt–Al 2 O 3 Nanocomposite Films: Synthesis,Structure, and Magnetic Properties

The structure and magnetic properties of CoPt–Al2O3 nanocomposite films synthesized by the annealing of Al/(Co3O4 + Pt) bilayers on a MgO(001) substrate at 650°C in vacuum are investigated. The synthesized composite films contain ferromagnetic CoPt grains with an average size of 25–45 nm enclosed in a nonconducting Al2O3 matrix. The saturation magnetization (Ms ~ 330 G) and coercivity (Hc ≈ 6 kOe) of the films are measured in the film plane and perpendicular to it. The obtained films are characterized by a spatial rotational magnetic anisotropy, which makes it possible to arbitrarily set the easy magnetization axis in the film plane or perpendicular to it using a magnetic field stronger than the coercivity (H > Hc).     

Magneto-optical Static Recording Performances of Sputtered CoPt Alloy Films

CoPt alloy films with good magnetic and mageto-optical properties were prepared on Pt buffer layer or directly on glass subst rate by sputtering a composite target. Their static recording properties were investigated. The results showed that static signals could be easily written into the CoPt alloy films without Pt buffer layers using moderate recording power. The introduction of Pt buffer layer in CoPt alloy films not only led to a smaller Kerr rotation but also greatly increased the recording power.     

Effects of layering and magnetic annealing on the texture of CoPt films

The effect of magnetic field annealing of magnetron sputtered CoPt alloy films and Co/Pt bilayers on the crystallographic texture of the obtained chemically ordered (L1₀) CoPt films is presented. In CoPt alloy films the main effect of the magnetic field is to suppress (1 1 1) growth in the early stages of L1₀ formation whereas the development of (0 0 1) versus (1 0 0) texture is related to chemical ordering strain. A higher degree of (0 0 1) texture is obtained by magnetically annealing Co/Pt bilayers since the initial (1 1 1) texture in the as-sputtered films is avoided and Co-Pt alloying occurs in the presence of the magnetic field.     

Influence of Ni content on the microstructure and magnetic and magneto-optical properties of sputtered (Co1-xNix)Pt3 alloy films

Influence of Ni content on the microstructure and magnetic and magneto-optical (MO) properties of sputtered (Co1-xNix)Pt3 alloy films has been investigated by means of Kerr spectrometer, Kerr hysteresis looper, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). On the whole, the addition of Ni to the CoPt3 alloy film simultaneously decreases the Curie temperature TC and the Kerr rotation angle θK, but the decrease of TC with Ni content is more visible. When the Ni content x is increased from 0 to 0.33, TC decreases from 273 ○C to 233 ○C, whereas the decrease of θK is quite limited and the film still preserves a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and a high coercivity, indicating that the (Co1-xNix)Pt3 alloy film with x=0.33 can be used for practical MO applications. Further increase of Ni content decreases the θK significantly and destroys the PMA. XRD and AFM studies show that adding a small amount of Ni in the CoPt3 alloy film will promote the growth of grains and roughen the film surface, and thus enhance the coercivity of the film. We observe also that both the coercivity and PMA are not sensitive to the (111) preferred orientation of the (Co1-xNix )Pt3 alloy films.     

Laser ablation synthesis of monodispersed magnetic alloy nanoparticles

Monodispersed CoPt alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by a pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technique coupled with a low-pressure operating differential mobility analyzer (LP-DMA). The CoPt alloy nanoparticles were generated by laser ablating a solid Co–Pt target. In CoPt alloy nanoparticles synthesized from a target with a Co composition of 75 at%, the nanoparticle surfaces were covered by an oxide layer and exhibited a core-shell structure. In contrast, no shell was observed in particles generated from a target with a Co:Pt ratio of 50:50 at%. According to an EDX analysis, the compositions of the individual nanoparticles were almost the same as that of the target material. Finally, the magnetic hysteresis loops of the CoPt alloy nanoparticles exhibited ferromagnetism.     

Regulating the magnetic anisotropy by Hf thickness and heat treatment in Pt/Co/Hf films

Pt/Co/Hf multilayers were prepared by magnetron sputtering, and the magnetic anisotropy was effectively regulated by Hf thickness and heat treatment in Pt/Co/Hf films. The interface microstructures were characterized. The influence of the interface microstructure on magnetic properties was studied. The results show that the magnetic anisotropy in Pt/Co/Hf films is closely related to the interface microstructure, which is influenced by Hf thickness and the heat treatment temperature. Microstructure analysis shows that after the Pt(3)/Co(1.5)/Hf(1) film is heat-treated, the CoO_x content increases, more CoPt(111) forms, the interface is smoother and sharper, and the roughness of the Co/Hf interface decreases. Several factors work together to cause the magnetic anisotropy of the sample to change from in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA)to perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA).     

Structural and magnetic properties of bulk and thin films of Mg0.95Mn0.05Fe2O4

We present here a comparative study on structural and magnetic properties of bulk and thin films of Mg_0.95Mn_0.05Fe₂O₄ ferrite deposited on two different substrates using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dc magnetization measurements. XRD pattern indicates that the bulk sample and their thin films exhibit a polycrystalline single phase cubic spinel structure. It is found that the film deposited on indium tin oxide coated glass (ITO) substrate has smaller grain size than the film deposited on platinum coated silicon (Pt–Si) substrate. Study of magnetization hysteresis loop measurements infer that the bulk sample of Mg_0.95Mn_0.05Fe₂O₄ and its thin film deposited on Pt–Si substrate shows a well-defined hysteresis loop at room temperature, which reflects its ferrimagnetic behavior. However, the film deposited on ITO does not show any hysteresis, which reflects its superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature.     

Hysteresis loop construction for the metal-semiconductor phase transition in vanadium dioxide films

Thermal hysteresis of the reflectivity of vanadium dioxide films observed upon the metal-semiconductor phase transition is studied. The major hysteresis loop is assumed to form when the phase equilibrium temperature in film grains and the grain size vary and correlate with each other. Within the suggested concept of hysteresis loop formation, it is demonstrated that the major loop may be asymmetric, i.e., broadened (shifted) toward lower temperatures. Unlike hysteresis branches for VO₂ bulk single crystal, those for VO₂ films are extended along the temperature axis and may exhibit a step if the grain size distribution has several maxima. The validity of the concept is verified experimentally. It is also shown that atomic force microscopy (AFM) data for the grain size distribution can serve to determine the distribution parameters from the phase equilibrium temperatures without constructing a complete set of minor hysteresis loops, as was required before.     

Magnetic coupling in Co1−xPtx (x>0.5) nanowires electrodeposited on an AAO template

Thirty nanometer diameter Co-Pt nanowires of different composition were fabricated by electrodepositing the Co and Pt atoms to nanoporous anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) templates. The structure and magnetic properties are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), induction-coupled plasma spectrometer (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The as deposited nanowires with Pt content about 50 at.% present a single ferromagnetic phase of fcc CoPt. When the Pt content of the nanowires varies from about 55 to about 75 at.%, the nanowires include a soft phase of fcc CoPt₃ and a relatively hard phase of fcc CoPt and the two phases are separate as seen from the hysteresis loops. After annealing to 600 °C, the two phases coupled completely and the coupled phase has the same coercivity as the original hard one.
