Abstract :
Summary form only given. CoCrPt films with Ti underlayer have been widely investigated as candidate media for perpendicular recording. The growth of Co alloy is interfacially controlled by the Ti underlayer. Although the engineering effects of Ti underlayer with magnetic properties of CoCrPt film are known, a combined understanding of the effects of crystallographic texture and interface roughness of CoCrPt/Ti films on magnetic properties is yet unclear. In this work, Co/sub 74/Cr/sub 16/Pt/sub 10//Ti films were deposited using DC magnetron sputtering and examined by x-ray scattering and x-ray reflectivity.
