| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study is to establish fabrication techniques of Fe-Pt nanoparticle-array magnetic recording media and to evaluate their potential to achieve areal recording density over 1 tera-bit per square inch. The results are shown in the followings.
1) We studied the relationship between chemical ordering and magnetic anisotropy for powder samples of Fe-Pt nanoparticles, and found that a volume ratio Q of ordered alloy phase evaluated with Mossbauer spectroscopy was a useful parameter to evaluate the chemical ordering. Whereas Q is a parameter for short-range ordering, S obtained from X-ray diffractometry is a parameter for long-range ordering. Magnetic anisotropy was evaluated with the maximum magnetic field of 90 kOe. Distribution of magnetic anisotropy-field H_k for partially ordered Fe-Pt nanoparticles was much broader than that for almost fully ordered Fe-Pt nanoparticles, and the low H_k components were included with a high volume ratio.
2) Partially ordered Fe-Pt n

anoparticles were successfully obtained with polyol reduction method of Fe and Pt salts by using microwave irradiation without any post-synthesis heat-treatment. The Fe-Pt nanoparticles synthesized at 250℃ with microwave irradiation exhibited volume ratio for ordered alloy phase of 60% and magnetic anisotropy field over 80 kOe.
3) Mixing saturated fatty acid (C_nH_<2n> O_2) molecules to an Fe-Pt nanoparticle suspension assisted the formation of a nanoparticle monolayer on pure water surface without coagulation. Because the surface of the Fe-Pt nanoparticles is hydrophobic, interface energy with water surface is high. The fatty acid molecules probably reduced the interface energy as a buffer layer between the Fe-Pt nanoparticle-monolayer and water surface. Fatty acid molecules with n 【greater than or equal】 14 were effective for the formation, and the best one in view of the formation of regular nanoparticle-array was the molecule with n = 14.
4) Carbon overcoats deposited with sputtering on Fe-Pt nanoparticle assembly-films successfully prevented the assembly-films from inter-particle sintering. Fe-Pt nanoparticles of 4-5 nm in diameter were kept isolated physically and were chemically ordered after an optimum heat-treatment. However, higher temperature and longer time for the heat treatment were required to achieve proper chemical ordering to fit a specification of high-density recording media for future recording system. Fe-Pt nanoparticle assembly-films with a carbon overcoat annealed under the optimum conditions exhibited that the particle size was 4-5 nm and magnetic anisotropy constant was 4.8x10^7 erg/cm^3. Less
