Abstract

We have explored a new electrically conductive underlayer material to grow (001) textured L10-FePt films on glass substrates for potential application in ultrahigh density magnetic recording media. We found (Mg 0.2Ti0.8)O (MTO) polycrystalline film grows with a strong (001) texture on Cr buffer layer, which induces strong (001) texture of L1 0-FePt polycrystalline and granular films. Strong perpendicular anisotropy of 3.8 × 107 erg/cm3 and coercivity of 15 kOe of a FePt-C film has been demonstrated using the MTO underlayer on glass substrates.
