Abstract:
Perpendicular anisotropy L10-FePt/Ag/[Co/Pd]30 pseudo spin valves (PSVs) with ultra-thin L10-FePt alloy free layer possessing high anisotropy and thermal stability have been fabricated and studied. The thickness of the L10-FePt layer was varied between 2 and 4 nm. The PSV became increasingly decoupled with reduced L10-FePt thickness due to the larger difference between the coercivity of the L10-FePt and [Co/Pd]30 films. The PSV with an ultra-thin L10-FePt free layer of 2 nm displayed a high Ku of 2.21 107 ergs/cm3, high thermal stability of 84 and a largest giant magnetoresistance of 0.54%.
