Phosphor doping enhanced c -axis alignment and exchange decoupling of sputtered Co-Pt perpendicular thin films

Abstract

In the present work, Co-23.0 at. % Pt and Co-23.0 at. % Pt-3.67 at. % P thin films with their c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface were fabricated on a glass substrate by DC magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic analyses demonstrate that the doping of P improves the c-axis alignment and forms P-rich non-magnetic phase at grain boundary areas, the latter resulting in inter-granular exchange decoupling between Co-Pt grains. The improved c-axis alignment and the inter-granular exchange decoupling give rise to the increase of the out of plane coercivity and the squareness of the Co-Pt-P films.
