Abstract

A nonmagnetic Ag pinning layer was deposited between two FePt magnetic layers in order to introduce impurities or defects in the interfaces. These inhomogeneities may serve as pinning sites to impede the domain wall motion and thus enhance the coercivity of the magnetic film. The effects of pinning layer on the magnetic properties and magnetization reversal mechanism of FePt perpendicular media were investigated.
