The composition of the alloy clusters was controlled by adjusting the ratio of the applied sputtering power. We found that high-temperature disordered fcc-FexPt1-x clusters whose mean diameters of 6-9 nm depend on the Ar gas flow ratio were formed for a wide average composition range (x ? 0.3-0.7), and the lattice constant of as-doposited clusters increases almost linearly with decreasing x, being extrapolated to the value of pure Pt metal. For Fe49Pt51 cluster-assembled films, high coercivity (8.8 kOe) was obtained by annealing at 600°C within 10 min due to improved chemical ordering, although as-deposited cluster-assembled films have lower blocking temperatures than room temperature, and show a small coercivity value ( ? 25Oe) at room temperature due to intercluster magnetic interaction., application/pdf}, pages = {350--352}, title = {Formation and magnetic properties of Fe-Pt alloy clusters by plasma-gas condensation}, volume = {83}, year = {2003} }
