The magnetic properties and structure of FePt, FePt/Ag and FePt/Cu thin films have been studied. After annealed at 350°C for 1h, the FePt and FePt/Cu films are FCC disordered, and FePt/Ag thin film has a high in-plane coercivity (6236Oe). It is indicated that Ag underlayer is able to reduce the ordering temperature of FePt films. After annealed at 550°C for 30min, FePt and FePt/Ag thin films become magnetically hard with coercivities in the range of 9–10kOe due to high anisotropy energy associated with the L10ordered phase, whereas the in-plane and perpendicular coercivities of FePt/Cu are only about 2831 and 3565Oe, respectively. It is implied that Cu underlayer is not advantageous in reducing the ordering temperature of FePt films. Note that the coercivity of FePt/Ag films hardly change with increasing Ag underlayer thickness, whereas the FePt/Cu film shows the maximum in-plane coercivity (2831Oe) at the Cu underlayer of 20nm, and behaves the soft magnetic properties when the thickness of Cu underlayer is lager than 50nm at annealing temperature of 550°C.
