Abstract :
A nanostructured Fe50Ni50 alloy is synthesized by DC magnetron sputtering. The magnetic and structural properties and the disorder-order transformation of the film are investigated. It is found that the increase of saturation magnetization, coercivity and the decrease of resistance after 280°C/1 week annealing indicate that ordered L10 Fe50Ni50 alloy had been synthetically produced by obtaining the nanostructure and by thermal annealing.
