Abstract
With the aim of applying to a soft magnetic underlayer of the double-layered perpendicular magnetic recording media, an Fe74.9B17.5Si2.5Nb5.1 alloy thin film was fabricated on Si substrate by a pulsed laser deposition method. The Fe-based alloy thin film of 200 nm in thickness was confirmed as a glassy structure. The thermal properties of the thin film have similar features to those for the melt-spun glassy alloy ribbon. The glassy alloy thin film exhibits good soft magnetic properties, i.e., high Bs of 1.2 T and in-plane low Hc of 134 A/m. The Fe-B-Si-Nb glassy alloy thin film is expected to be suitable for the soft magnetic underlayer material in the double-layered perpendicular magnetic recording media.
