Abstract

The irreversible characteristics of the magnetization and the switching mechanism have been investigated in granular FePt films with L10 phase prepared by sputtering on a polymer substrate. The films display an extremely large magnetic anisotropy with a random distribution of the magnetization easy axis. The magnetic instabilities and the irreversible magnetization are found to be controlled by domain wall, which is responsible for the magnetization reversal. Through remanence curves and ΔM plot, the nature of magnetic interactions was revealed to be positive exchange coupling.
