We report the investigation of temperature dependent magnetic properties of FePt and FePt(30)/M(Cu,C)/Fe(5) trilayer thin films prepared by using magnetron sputtering technique at ambient temperature and postannealed at different temperatures.L10ordering, hard magnetic properties, and thermal stability of FePt films are improved with increasing postannealing temperature. In FePt/M/Fe trilayer, the formation of interlayer exchange coupling between magnetic layers depends on interlayer materials and interface morphology. In FePt/C/Fe trilayer, when the C interlayer thickness was about 0.5 nm, a strong interlayer exchange coupling between hard and soft layers was achieved, and saturation magnetization was enhanced considerably after using interlayer exchange coupling with Fe. In addition, incoherent magnetization reversal process observed in FePt/Fe films changes into coherent switching process in FePt/C/Fe films giving rise to a single hysteresis loop. High temperature magnetic studies up to 573 K reveal that the effective reduction in the coercivity decreases largely from 34 Oe/K for FePt/Fe film to 13 Oe/K for FePt/C(0.5)/Fe film demonstrating that the interlayer exchange coupling seems to be a promising approach to improve the stability of hard magnetic properties at high temperatures, which is suitable for high-performance magnets and thermally assisted magnetic recording media.

We have studied the change of the interlayer exchange coupling between the adjacent magnetic transition metal (TM) layers across a rare-earth metal (REM) layer by hydrogenation in TM (10 nm)/REM (t nm)/TM (10 nm) trilayers composed of Fe and Co as the TM and Y as the REM. In the case of the Fe as TM, the magnetic properties are sensitive to hydrogenation. In particular, the interlayer exchange coupling changes remarkably by hydrogenation. On the other hand, in the case of the Co as TM, the magnetic properties do not change by hydrogenation, and the change of the coupling by hydrogenation cannot be confirmed. The difference of the change of the coupling by hydrogenation between TM=Fe and TM=Co should be attributed to the difference of the TM/Y interface state.

Magnetic properties of multilayered [Fe–Cr/Cr]×8 nanostructures with the interlayer exchange coupling of the antiferromagnetic type and without the interlayer coupling have been studied. The values of the saturation magnetization and the interlayer exchange coupling constant are shown to strongly depend on the thickness and non-magnetic dilution of the Fe–Cr layers. It is found that those parameters differently affect the interlayer exchange coupling, which is explained by an interplay between the size effect (the thickness of the Fe–Cr layers) and the magnetic polarization of the Fe–Cr/Cr interfaces depending on the Fe concentration.
