Tri-layer FePt–C graded media composed of three FePt–C layers with each single FePt–C layer deposited at different substrate temperatures were fabricated. The single hard layer FePt–C had a large coercivity of 11.4 kOe, while the coercivity of the tri-layer sample was only 5.7 kOe. A coercivity reduction factor of 2 was achieved without sacrificing the thermal stability of the media. The tri-layer media revealed incoherent magnetization switching—domain wall propagation. The microstructure showed that the tri-layer FePt–C graded media were graded media combined with modified coupled granular continuous (CGC) media. This new kind of graded media had a lower switching field and comparable thermal stability and should have the advantage of CGC media—lower transition noise.
