Abstract :
Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) was used to estimate the magnetic energy distribution of magnetic CoCrTa thin films. The films were obtained by sputtering onto identical substrates with a CrMo seed-layer. The results show that the coercivity was increased with increasing substrate temperature.
