N. Inaba et M. Futamoto, Magnetic and crystallographic properties of Co-Cr-Pt longitudinal media prepared on MgO seedlayers deposited by ECR sputtering, IEEE MAGNET, 36(5), 2000, pp. 2372-2374
Crystallographic and magnetic properties are investigated for Co-Cr-Pt/Cr-T
i longitudinal media fabricated on MgO seedlayers (t = 0 - 20 nm) prepared
by Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) sputtering method. The MgO layer depo
sited at room temperature shows well developed {100} texture. Highly (100)-
oriented Cr-Ti and (11.0)-oriented Co-Cr-Pt layers are epitaxially grown on
the seedlayers, The media coercivity is enhanced by about 15% compared wit
h that with no MgO seedlayer.
