Abstract
We have prepared nanometer‐size, isolated CoPt particles. The particles in the range of 100–300 nm in diameter were formed by annealing thin films in the temperature range of 550–800 °C. Films with magnetic coercivity as high as 30 kOe were achieved. The results indicate that the high magnetic coercivity was obtained because the crystallite size approaches that of noninteracting single‐domain particles.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
