- Abstract
Equiatomic FePd thin films with a thickness of 5 nm were deposited at room temperature by magnetron sputtering on the thermally oxidized silicon substrates. Annealing in vacuum and in hydrogen atmosphere was used to transform the chemically disordered A1 FePd films into the chemically ordered L10 FePd phase. The influence of annealing atmosphere, annealing temperature, and annealing time on the ordering process of the films was studied. Annealing in hydrogen atmosphere at 650 °C accelerates the ordering process and leads to the L10 FePd phase. However, the incorporation of H also influences the electronic structure and thus the magnetic properties. A further increase in annealing time or temperature (over 650 °C) accelerates the L10 ordering process but also alters drastically the film morphology forming a fine grainy structure, which appears X-ray amorphous rares. The latter even results in a most likely superparamagnetic state.
