TEM Study of FePt and FePt:C/FePt Composite Double-Layered Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

New functional nanocomposite FePt:C thin films with FePt underlayers were synthesized by noneptaxial growth. The effect of the FePt layer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the composite layer has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thickness from 2 nm to 14 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with x-ray diffraction (XRD), has been used to check the growth of the double-layered films and to study the microstructure, including the grain size, shape, orientation and distribution. XRD scans reveal that the orientation of the films was dependent on FePt underlayer thickness. In this paper, the TEM studies of both single-layered nonepitaxially grown FePt and FePt:C composite L10 phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt are presented.
