Co80Ir20 films with negative uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy (K-u) are investigated with respect to the regularity of the stacking sequence and atomic site arrangement. Substrate heating at 600 degrees C enhances the negative K-u of Co80Ir20 to -9.6 x 10(6) erg/cm(3). X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning transmission electron microscopy of the Co80Ir20 film fabricated at 600 degrees C indicate (1) a near perfect hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) stacking structure and (2) an atomic layered structure that consists of randomly sequenced Ir-rich and Ir-poor layers. These hcp and composition-modulated atomic layer stacking structures are considered to be the reason for the enhancement of the negative K-u. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.
