Abstract.  FePt thin films are a strong candidate for magnetic data storage applications. To achieve high areal density of data storage, low L1₀ phase transition temperature is required. This will decrease the magnetic nanoparticle agglomeration and grain growth which increases with higher transition temperatures. To decrease the transition temperature, pulsed laser exposure on FePt thin films is performed before thermal annealing. This presentation provides comparison of phase transition, magnetic properties and surface mophology of FePt thin films exposed with pulsed laser at different laser energies. The FePt thin films are grown with laser induced plasma system, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) system.
