Abstract
|
Patterned media for future ultrahigh-density magnetic data storage can be prepared by electrodeposition into ordered arrays of nanostructured templates. Diblock copolymer templates have been proposed as a promising alternative to alumina templates. They possess smaller feature sizes than alumina and thereby allow for higher storage densities. Templates with pore diameters of not, vert, similar8 nm have been fabricated by dip-coating a conducting substrate into a solution of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and 2-(4'-hydroxybenzeneazo) benzoic acid (HABA). A vapor annealing step was interposed for better ordering. The pores are opened by dissolving the HABA from the supramolecular assembly and afterwards filled by electrodeposition.<br /><br />FePt and CoPt alloys are the materials of choice for filling the pores due to their hard magnetic properties like high coercivity and anisotropy. Co-rich Co80Pt20 was chosen for this study because it does not require post annealing as in the case of ordered L10 CoPt or FePt. Continuous films have been deposited in order to identify the optimum deposition conditions and the influence of deposition current density on chemical composition, growth morphology, and structural and magnetic properties has been studied systematically. The first results on templates electrochemically filled with CoPt are presented together with an analysis of their magnetic properties.
