Abstract

FePt:C films were prepared by filtered vacuum arc deposition. A strong dependence of coercivity and ordering of the face-central tetragonal structure on both C concentration and annealing temperature was observed. With C concentration of 21%, the sample with a coercivity of 5.7 kOe was obtained when annealing temperature was only 350 °C. Transmission electron microscope observations revealed that FePt grains with an average size of 4.1 nm were embedded in C and appeared to be well isolated.
