Correlated evolution of surface morphology, structure and magnetic properties of nanoporous Co/Pd films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Abstract

In this study, we consider the technological route to conserve perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in porous Co/Pd multilayer thin films deposited over porous anodized templates of TiO2 and Al2O3 with smoothed surface morphology. It is proved that these templates with large contribution on flat-surface interpore areas promote conservation of high magnetic anisotropy constants Keff up to 1.9×106 erg/cm3) and Mr/MS (up to 0.99) as well as magnetic hardening with twice increase of the coercive force HC (up to 2.7 kOe) indicating an excellent potential of the fabricated materials for various magnetic and spintronic devices
