The face-centered-tetragonal-(001) FePt thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering Fe50Pt50 layer onto Cr91Ru9 underlayer at 400 °C. In order to enhance the coercivity and to obtain a relative lower exchange coupling medium with nucleation reversal mechanism, a nonmagnetic Ru pinning layer inserted in the magnetic layer is described to introduce controllable defects to impede domain-wall motion. A 60% increasing of the out-of-plane coercivity was observed after 1 nm Ru nonmagnetic pinning layer added between the FePt magnetic layers. From angular dependence of the coercivity measurement, the magnetization reversal mechanism was observed to shift from the typical domain-wall motion behavior to the nucleation mode by increasing the thickness of the pinning layer.
