Abstract
Epitaxial FePd thin films are obtained by sputtering deposition on MgO(1 0 0) and (1 1 0) substrates, In both orientations, it is found that growth te mperature strongly affects crystalline structure of the films, namely both degree of chemical order and residual strain. As a consequence, by selectin g the appropriate crystalline orientation and growth conditions, structures exhibiting strong uniaxial in plane or perpendicular magnetic anisotropy a re fabricated.
