Abstract

The very large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the order of 2 x 107 erg/cm3 at room temperature was found in CoJ-x Ptx(0<x<0.5) alloy thin films made by e-beam evaporation. The large magnetic anisotropy is likely related to the anisotropic Co-Co bonding distribution, which is similar to the cases of Co/Pt multilayers and FePt alloy thin films. The activation energy estimated for the ordering is approximately 0.3 eV, which is preferably compared to 0.2 eV for FePt. A model is proposed, for which both a short range and long range ordering are present, depending on substrate deposition temperature.
