J. Zou et al., COCRTA INTERMEDIATE LAYERS ON NIAL UNDERLAYERS FOR COCRPT LONGITUDINAL THIN-FILM MAGNETIC MEDIA, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(4), 1998, pp. 1582-1584
A CoCrTa intermediate layer was added between a CoCrPt recording layer
and a NiAl underlayer. CoCrPt (10 (1) over bar 0) texture improves an
d the in-plane coercivity increases using this medium structure. The e
ffects of substrate bias on film texture and coercivity were studied.
Pt concentration and lattice constant for CoCrPt were also characteriz
ed as functions of the bias voltage.
