Abstract
High density recording requires longitudinal magnetic recording media with high coercivity and low noise. We report our studies of magnetic and microstructural properties of high coercivity CoCrTa films. A coercivity value of 2450 Oe was obtained applying high bias voltage for substrate. Microstructural analysis by TEM and electron diffraction method revealed that high coercivity film shows c-axis of the film is highly oriented in the film plane.
