Comparison of h-BN and graphene layers as grain boundary materials for granular FePt-L1_0 thin films
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Granular L1_0-FePt thin films with small columnar grains are
essential for heat-assisted magnetic recording media. While hexagonal boron
nitride(h-BN) has proven effective for promoting columnar FePt grains, we
explored multilayer graphene as an alternative grain boundary material
leveraging its structural similarity to h-BN. The FePt granular thin films with
carbon-based grain boundary materials(GBMs) were deposited by cosputtering on
Si/SiO2 substrates with substrate bias at 650C. The RF bias and high
temperature facilitated formation of interlinked graphene nanoribbons wrapping
around FePt grains, yielding 7.5 nm diameter, 8 nm height grains with an order
parameter of 0.78 and a perpendicular coercivity of 40 kOe. However, the
formation of graphene nanoribbons could not effectively promote columnar
structures, likely due to co-existing amorphous carbon in grain boundaries.
Optimizing deposition to improve graphene grain boundary quality is necessary
to realize this 2D material's potential for achieving desirable microstructures
for HAMR media.
