Abstract

High coercivity nanoscale structures of CoPt are grown on (001) SiTiO3 with pulsed laser ablation. At low growth rate ( ∃ 0.4 Å /s), the film morphology changes from a self-similar fractal to nanodots as the deposition temperature is raised from 700 to 800° C. While the nanodots are L10 ordered phase with out-of-plane c axis and coercivity Hc=30 kOe, the fractals have a nonzero, in-plane c-axis component of the L10 phase. The large lattice mismatch between (001) SrTiO3 and the ac/bc plane of L10 imparts tensile strain to the films whose morphological manifestations can be suppressed at high growth rates.
