In order to apply FePt alloy thin film with L10 structure to magnetic recording media, etc., it is required to control the easy magnetization axis (c-axis) perpendicular to the surface. However, when a film with L10 structure is formed on a (001)-oriented underlayer or substrate, L10(100) and L10(010) variants whose c-axis lies in the film plane may coexist with the L10(001) variant with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface. In order to control the c-axis perpendicular to the surface, it is effective to introduce tensile stress in lateral direction caused by lattice mismatch with the substrate. In the present study, FePt films of 10 nm thickness are prepared on various (001) oxide substrates with different lattice constants. The influences of lattice strain caused by lattice mismatch on the variant orientation and the order degree are investigated. In addition, the effects of cap-layer formed on FePt film are also studied. The results indicate that a larger lattice mismatch is effective in enhancing the growth and ordering of L10(001) variant, and the presence of cap-layer is useful in further promoting the tendency. |
