    Notes: Longitudinal recording media made with chromium and with nickel-aluminum underlayers are compared. NiAl films have smaller grains and random crystallographic orientation, while Cr films have larger grains and either a {110} or a {200} preferred orientation depending on the deposition conditions. Cobalt alloy films grown on NiAl have nearly random crystallographic orientation and significant c-axis out-of-plane component, and lower hysteresis loop squareness and coercivity than films made on a heated Cr underlayer. NiAl-underlayer media do not exhibit in-plane magnetic anisotropy induced by the substrate texture lines. CoCrTaPt/Cr/NiAl media had higher overwrite than CoCrTaPt/Cr media due to higher coercive squareness and a sharper hysteresis loop closure. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: CoCrPt/TiCr perpendicular recording media having independently optimized nucleation and growth conditions have been prepared by changing the argon pressure during sputter deposition of each film. A low argon pressure CoCrPt nucleation layer produces strong c-axis perpendicular orientation that can be maintained during continued CoCrPt deposition at high argon pressure. The two-layer media combines increased particle separation from high pressure growth and strong orientation to produce higher signal to noise ratio than either high pressure or low pressure single layer CoCrPt media. TiCr underlayers, despite poor orientation and a noncolumnar structure, improve CoCrPt c- axis perpendicular orientation. Low argon pressure during TiCr deposition maximizes CoCrPt orientation. A TiCr bilayer having a low pressure nucleation layer followed by a high pressure growth layer improves performance of the subsequent CoCrPt layer. A TiCr bilayer having a high pressure growth layer followed by a thin low pressure template produces even greater recording performance enhancement. This media has Hc=2560 Oe, D50=90 kfci and S0/Nd at 240 kfci=4.0. An identical CoCrPt layer deposited on the low pressure TiCr underlayer has Hc=1850 Oe, D50=80 kfci and S0/Nd at 240 kfci=2.4. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetic and noise properties of oriented CoCrTa/Cr media sputtered at temperatures from ambient to 250 °C were studied and correlated with microstructural data from HRSEM and HRTEM micrographs. Coercivity increases monotonically and loop squareness decreases with substrate temperature. Transition and uniform magnetization noise power are highest for media sputtered at 150 °C. Micrographs and noise powers show that the media sputtered at 150 °C is relatively highly exchange-coupled. Media sputtered below 150 °C shows topographic isolation, and those sputtered above 150 °C exhibit increasing intergranular isolation of about 10 A(ring) and thus lower exchange. Coercivity varies linearly but exchange drops abruptly at high temperature. Other mechanisms besides exchange contribute to the coercivity variation.

    Notes: Simulations of hexagonal magnetic particles with uniform exchange energy and random c-axis in-plane orientation do not reproduce real media magnetic properties. Simulation software was thus modified to model four experimentally observed Co-alloy microstructures, to distinguish the effects of grain size, cluster size, exchange decoupling, and cluster substructure; and to more accurately model real media behavior. Results include: (1) Clusters of isolated uniaxial particles act like single grains having the cluster size. Exchange decoupling on a size scale smaller than the crystallographic grain size has little effect upon hysteresis loops or media noise. (2) The magnetic properties of clustered bicrystal and randomly oriented media depend on the exchange interactions within and between clusters of grains. Media hysteresis loops and recorded tracks are well simulated using exchange energies within randomly oriented or bicrystal grain clusters up to ten times larger than those used in the standard model. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: NiAl has been proposed as a replacement for the Cr underlayer in longitudinal recording media.1 NiAl has a B2 ordered structure with a lattice parameter close to that of Cr. Hence the same epitaxial relationships that exist in CoCrPt/Cr could also exist in CoCrPt/NiAl. Although high coercivity media have been made using a NiAl underlayer, a detailed microstructural study of the CoCrPt/NiAl is lacking. We have investigated the crystal orientation and epitaxial relationships in CoCrPt/NiAl bilayers deposited by DCM sputtering at a range of deposition temperatures up to 250 °C and sputter rates of 0.5–10 nm/s. Samples were examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy in cross section and plan view. None of the samples showed the (002) NiAl/(11¨20)Co orientation that would be expected by analogy to CoCrPt/Cr films deposited at high temperatures. The CoCrPt crystals in the CoCrPt/NiAl are oriented with their c axes at a range of angles to the film plane, accounting for the lower squareness (Sq) of the magnetic hysteresis loop compared to samples on Cr underlayers. There is no evidence of the "bicrystal" structure in CoCrPt/NiAl as is seen on films grown on Cr.2 Grain size in NiAl is smaller than in Cr giving a smaller grain size in the CoCrPt overlayer and potentially lower medium noise. However, coercivity of CoCrPt/NiAl is lower than CoCrPt/Cr. The coercivity increases as the NiAl film thickness increases, and this is believed to be caused by topographic isolation of the magnetic grains.3 Recording measurements on CoCrPt/NiAl and CoCrPt/Cr media show that noise is lower in isotropic media made on the NiAl underlayer compared to oriented media made on the Cr underlayer. The microstructural results will be compared with previously published results on NiAl underlayers and the utility of NiAl as an underlayer in high density media will be assessed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have studied the influence of deposition conditions on the structure and properties of Co84Cr14Ta2 alloy magnetic thin films and Cr underlayers sputtered onto circumferentially textured and smooth polished NiP/Al substrates. Suitable processing conditions provide in-plane magnetic anisotropy in the textured media, with enhanced coercivity (Hc) and coercivity squareness (S*) in the circumferential direction and reduced Hc and S* in the radial direction. The crystallography in these films was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to address the origin of the observed magnetic anisotropy. The CoCrTa alloy grains are found to grow semicoherently on the chromium underlayer, resulting in vertical 〈200(approximately-greater-than) Cr and 〈112¯0(approximately-greater-than) CoCrTa axes. This requires an in-plane orientation of the CoCrTa c axis, which is observed to be nearly random by high-resolution TEM. Microdiffraction shows apparent preferred c-axis alignment locally at texture lines, but this observation is primarily attributable to asymmetric tilting of the vertical growth direction caused by the substrate topography. The 〈112¯0(approximately-greater-than) growth axis appears to be perpendicular to the local grooved surface, not the bulk surface, requiring a local c-axis out-of-plane tilt near the grooves. The anisotropic surface topography induces a corresponding anisotropy in the out-of-plane component of the magnetically easy c axis in the CoCrTa alloy, which we suggest has implications on the bulk magnetic anisotropy in such films.

    Notes: High-resolution transmission-electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to analyze CoCrTa, CoCrPt, and CoNiCrPt alloy thin films deposited under similar conditions onto NiP plated Al substrates with a Cr underlayer. Apparent ∼50 nm Co alloy grains observed by bright field TEM are found to be clusters of smaller 10–20 nm grains with a common growth orientation. Subtle differences have also been observed in the stacking fault density, Co alloy fcc phase concentration, lattice mismatch, and grain separation in the films. In particular, HRTEM shows that the CoCrTa film has clear physical separation between the 10 and 20 nm grains, which is not observed in the other media. Despite similar hysteresis loop properties, the signal-to-noise ratio of CoCrTa is 2.3 dB higher than CoCrPt and 4.6 dB higher than CoNiCrPt. Small isolated grains have been shown to improve media noise, as is observed in CoCrTa media.

    Notes: An equilibrium model for agglomeration in polycrystalline thin films which considers the energy balance between the grain boundary energy and both surface and substrate interface energies is presented. It predicts that small grain size, low grain boundary energy, and high film surface and interface energies should promote resistance to agglomeration, and shows that the substrate-film interface can play a significant role in the process. It also predicts a critical grain size limiting formation of a discontinuous island structure. This easily calculable value is significantly smaller than that found in previous modeling. The critical grain size, the importance of the substrate interface, and some of the assumptions are shown to be consistent with transmission microscope observations of TiSi2 thin films deposited on Si substrates.
