Enhanced perpendicular coercivity of ultrathin perpendicularly magnetized Tb–Fe–Co films on silicon substrates using a thin Pt underlayer

We have studied the effect of an additional thin Pt underlayer on the magnetic properties of ultrathin perpendicularly magnetized TbFeCo films grown on silicon substrates. We have demonstrated that the presence of a thin Pt underlayer can enhance the perpendicular coercivity of ultrathin TbFeCo film...
