Synthesis and Studies of Palladium-Iron Alloy Thin Film with L10 Ordered Structure

The paper deals with the synthesis of palladium-iron alloy thin film with the ordered L10 structure and presents results of its studies. The evolution of the thin film crystallinity is described at different stages of synthesis. Perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy is confirmed by results of magnetometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Based on results, it is concluded that the obtained structure can be used as a medium for ultrahigh density magnetic recordings.
