H. Matsuda et al., CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTROLESSLY DEPOSITED CORENIMNP FILMS WITH PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 128(3), 1993, pp. 386-390
Electrolessly deposited CoReNiMnP films, which have been developed for
perpendicular magnetic recording media, exhibit the characteristics o
f both incoherent and wall motion mechanisms. Thinner films (< 80 nm)
mainly consist of elements with a wall motion model, whilst a incohere
nt rotational model is dominant in thicker films. The absence of perpe
ndicular magnetic anisotropy in thinner films could be due to the rand
omly (poorly) oriented initial layer.
