“…FePt thin films with the L1 0 structure have been intensively investigated in recent years due to its high magnetocrystalline anisotropy (Ku ∼7 × 10 7 erg/cm 3 , H k ∼100 kOe), therefore, it is a potential candidate for ultrahigh-density magnetic recording. However, the formation of L1 0 -FePt film requires a heat treatment at a high temperature around 600 • C, which results in the grain growth [5,6]. Some investigations in lowering the ordering temperature and enhancing the coercivity of FePt film have been reported, such as doping a third element [7,8,9] and introducing an underlayer [10,11,12] and a capped layer [13] to the FePt film.…”
