Thin Film and Chemical Ordering Effects on the Magnetic Anisotropy in Binary Alloys

This dissertation presents various investigations into the structure-property correlations in highly anisotropic FePt and FePd thin films and nanostructures. These binary alloy thin films may exhibit long-range chemical ordering (e.g. L10), which induces a strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy whose...
