Abstract
The hysteresis loop and the two principal remanence curves of CoCrPt and Co Cr thin films of different compositions are studied. DeltaM curves indicate mainly the presence of weak dipolar intergranular interactions in the magn etic films, and the CoCrPt films show an almost non-interacting behavior. T he crystallographic properties of the CoCrPt films do not seem to explain t he observed enhancement in the magnetic coercivity of the CoCr films with a ddition of Pt.
